Need on guidance on how this situation can go in future:
a. 2015 came to US on H4
b. Filed H1B approved, stamped and back in US on H1B visa in Jan 2016
c. Did not get any project, so no payslip for an year of H1B status when I decided to convert to H4
d. Re-intered US in H4 status in Jan 2017
e. Received H4 EAD ( based on H1B based approved I140 of spouse) in Nov 2018 and started working for a big IT company in March 2019
f. This company is willing to file my H1-B in Apr 2020 as I will be completing one year of employment in March.
Note: I never received any RFE or rejection for previous H4 and EAD extensions.
Question:
- Will dark H1B period haunt me where I didn’t have payslips?
- Should I disclose that I had H1B ever and tell only about H4 petitions to attorney?
- What is best option here?
