If an H-4 change of status was filed before an H-1B layoff grace period, and during the 60-day grace period a new employer filed an H-1B transfer, followed by a request to withdraw the H-4, what happens if the H-1B transfer receives an RFE or is denied while the H-4 withdrawal is still pending?

Once an H-4 withdrawal is requested, it cannot be easily reversed. However, if the withdrawal was submitted via paper, one option is to link the H-4 receipt to a USCIS online account and upload a letter requesting to cancel the withdrawal request so the H-4 petition continues processing as a backup plan.
