Hi All,

Fortunately, I got selected in this year's H-1B lottery. However, it has been bittersweet for us since then.

My wife is working currently on her L2S visa. We came to US in Nov 2024, and due to layoffs happening in the company every 3-4 months, my perm process has not started/took off.

If I change my Visa to H-1B and subsequently , hers to H-4, she will have to resign as she can't get EAD without an approved i-140.

Just wanted to check if there are any ways to navigate this. I'm certain we should not be the first ones to have this issue. Kindly help !!!

Company has already mentioned they will only support COS.
