Question: Both my husband and I are currently on our separate H1Bs. If one of us loses our job, what is the process to convert from H1 to H4 change of status? Suppose I apply for h4 conversion but I don't get it within the 60 days I'm allowed to be unemployed, do I have to go back to India?

You can stay on receipt, you won't aquire unlawful presence unless your change of status to h4 is denied - h4 denial is very rare, so you should be good

Oh that's good know. Thank you. And the timeline for receipt is 2 weeks like any other visa...?

Anyone here waiting for a Family Based Green Card, my lawyer filed it last September 2021. It’s 14 months now… still waiting.

Just wanted to know if anyone of you got it earlier than 2 years?

Saw this while searching —
“In most cases, it takes about two years for a green card to become available, and the entire process takes around three years. It can take slightly longer for citizens of Mexico, China, India, and the Philippines.”

On a brighter note — Got my EAD March 2022.
