Re: transferrring status from h1 to b2

The chances of the B2 being approved is fairly low given the situation. A better option would be to find a new employer, even for part time work, to maintain H1b status. That would require the new employer to file an H1b petition for you, but would allow the most flexibilty as to maintaining status with the former employer should you be able to return to work with them in the near future.
