Hello,
Currently I am working, as a Research associate in University of XX and my current status is H-1B valid till 03-01-2016 to 02-28-2019. I have an approved I-140 in EB-1A (2nd attempt) and preparing for I-485.
I was working as a post doc at University of YY on J-1 visa from 05-01-2009 to 04-30-2014 and on 04-01-2014 (just before end of J-1 status) I filed for green card in EB-1A. My EAD was approved in 06-21-2014 and then I was continuing my research work till 12-18-2014 the day my first EB-1A petition was denied. My supervisor then filed for H-1B and change of status, and it was approved on 02-10-2015. I was out of status presence from 12-21-2014 to 02-09-2015, 55 days out of (maximum 180 day allowed).
The change of status from J-1 to H-1B was approved while I was out of status. USCIS again approved the H-1B transfer and extension from University of YY to University of XX. With valid H-1B from 03-01-2016 to 02-28-2019 but no visa stamp and approved I-140 in EB-1A, is it safe for me to file for I-485?
Thank you,
Regards
