EAD to H1B do needs go for counselor process and get H1b stamping?

Hi Anil,

I got laid off on my h1b in March 2025. Then switch to EAD (spouse). My h1b has been revoked by employer. If i switch back to h1b . Do i needs to go for counselor process and get stamping done in india ? If yes do i needs to pay 100k fee ? I do have approved i 14. Pls clarify. Appreciate your response.

Regards

Aj

If you keep staying in the US and file H4 to H1B change of status, then you should not need to pay 100k.

Hi Anil,

Any update on my query?
