I work in an IT consultanting firm and 我的H1B将在明年 03/2011 到期(六年), 我申请了 EB2 perm -priority date 06/2007, got I 140 approved, but can't submit I485 due to “排期”, now I can't find a contract to do but the consultant firm agree to keep my status for a while (pay salary myself )and apply for 3 years H1B extension for me on Dec, 2010

I can change my status from H1B to H4. If i will be jobless for a while, should I wait for H1B extension approval then change my status from H1B to H4? Or just change it now? If I change to H4 now, can I change back from H4 to H1B if I find a job 0.5-2 years later when economic recover?

I can't pay salary out of my own pocket for a long time. i have no confidence I will get a job soon. If i change H4, I want to keep the option open - change back to H1B if I can find a job later.. What is the best way for me to keep this H1B? 大牛们帮帮我。。Any suggestion will be appreciated!!
