I hope I answered your question. Good point, my friend. Also important for people to keep in mind that some applications are wait-listed in case there are rejections, etc.
So for me it was a question about seeing my relatives first time in 2 years. Sorry, but you guys colsulters should seek for normal employer to file your H1B. Again H1 is not for no-brainers. US goverment is sick of you — you lay off americans by providing low-wage job. I really hope that the new immigration reform will pass and kick the ass of all such employers who abuse H1B program.
I wish a luck to every non-consulting person, especially to AD guys who may already have an established life and career here. You never know how time will treat you in future.
Oh and BTW, I have an offer from a search giant as well, but that is no reason to condescend…. Good luck with your future though!! Best rgds!! Take your Visa and work well, and Be down to earth nobody knows the expert consultant will come and sitting behind your right and bang you on performance. Congrats az! Not all Indians and India-based companies are opportunists, as it might appear so from some examples being given on this forum repeatedly.
We have one of the richest cultures you might find in the whole world. Many great innovators, researcher, entrepreneurs come from our land. Do visit India if and when you get a chance. Just because you got the receipt.. You are not from Google. I can bet my life on that. I am a Cornell grad and have been following this forum only for the sake of my good friends who are tensed because of the freakish lottery system.
I have plenty of batch mates who are working in the valley and most of them have a certain sense of empathy towards their colleagues. You clearly lack that quality.
It will save you some grace if you could reflect on your post before hitting the submit button. I got multiple RFE and got confused. Meanwhile I got an offer from a consulting farm and processed a H1B transfer for me. The transfer got approved and I resigned from Infosys. Question is : As I am really interested to join back Infosys, is it possible to rejoin infosys with the visa extension that got approved? Kindly tell me what is the process and what are the risk for rejoining Infosys?
I am not an Immigration attorney. Are you sure?? Infosys usually cancels the petitions when the employee leaves them. So extension approved or denied isnt relevant when the petition stands cancelled. Better to work with your consulting company. Even if your extension was approved, Infosys may have well cancelled your visa once you left them.
So that extension holds no relevance even if its approved. If you intend to work with them again, please ask them to file a new transfer petition. ANd make sure you have 3 months payslips with the current firm to be in the safer side. I also faced a similar situation. Infy cancelled the visa once i left them and personally I wouldnt go back to them , unless its for a differenct project or account.
Professionally everything is fine, but personally things may be different if you go back to same set of people. Until then work for the other employer and get paid. I am currently working on L1 B for a XX company.
Company YY is applying for H1 B this year. Project in current company ends in August, and then I have to leave to India. Or will it depends on I expiry date? Vijay, No, you cannot stay if your I expires in Aug One can only stay in US if the I is valid through Oct 1. Before that it remained in Initial Review from April 8 till Nov 19 It seems it has been left untouched since it was filed. Is there any fixed date after which we can stop looking at their website? There is no RFE no denial no movement of any sort absolutely nothing.
Have been in constant touch with employer and attorney and they also have no clue why such a peculiar situation. Could you suggest what does this mean?
Have you ever come across such situation? And is there any last date after which this waiting game is assumed to end so that life can move forward with something else? Upon regular follow up with my employer and attorney after the 60 days time limit, we got the information from USCIS is, the application is pending with the VISA officer which cannot be construed under 60 days time limit. So, I am planning to convert it to PP by end of next week if i do not hear anything.
I am hoping a similar case with you in IR which made to ER for you. I suspect this to happen when they may be doing detailed background check on the employee or on the company. They aim to process all these petitions by March , before the start of next filing season. Regular processing. This forum kept me alive!!!
Thanks to all. Can any one please tell me how much time it will take to get the hard copy. Jordan, It should be received within 30 days. Could you please confirm if you have received your VISA receipt? I am also in same situation and planning to contact attorney for the same. I have a question to you.
Can we have multiple h1b application from multiple employers. Lets say employer 1 is ready to file H1b and employer 2 is also willing to file H1b for same employee. Will this be allowed or only one H1b application is permited. Please clarify! Thanks in advance. Phani, multiple are fine. Only one employer can not file two h1 petitions for the same employee. In case of lottery those will be directly rejected. About number of petitions its not at all illegal you can apply as many through various employers.
They will never question , but in case of such impossible scenarios — You can just mention like I had trust issues, or you got better offer these reasons will be fine as a reason for multiple petitions. This is as per my knowledge, I already have two petitions , out of which one petition is denied , one petition approved and for it stamping is also done. About others, who might start blaming me for multiple petitions, I have filed multiple petitions not this year, the denied petition was from previous year.
Very bad to hear. Horrible time.. Atleast new year brings us luck…. Since our approval is getting delayed day by day, is there any chance to reject our stamping after approval?
Hi suaraab!!! Just want to know from other applicants of h1b applied in the healthcarefacilities got approvedin their application by uscis or denied.
Or the uscis focus only to those applicants for IT not healthcare facilities related. Im a registed nurse applying in the healthcare facilities. But to my dismayed the other day that my application got denied.
My agency consultant advise us that theemployer want to appeal the decision of the uscis or to reopen my case. But what is in my mind, maybe my consultant is asking again another additional fee to reopen my case. Ive already doubt my agency consultant is only after of our money. We have already spent a huge amount in this application. If you have not received the notice within 30 days of the date above, please call customer service at for further assistance.
If you move, please use our Change of Address online tool to update your case with your new address. Shakthe — Dude, Clearly this means your petition was denied earlier and your employer has applied to re-open the petition to reconsider the decision. Ok shakhte,This looks strage. You should have known decision before such motion to re-open. Hearty congrats to u. I never seen motion to reopen status before normal approval of any case. This must be definitely some kind of glitch in their system.
I am sorry, I made you feel bit worried by the response based on what I knew. Does it make sense to raise a e-request? Saurabh, your valuable thoughts are highly appeciated….. RFE on project description.. Your employer sponsors you for the same. Hi I am a hospitality professional.
I would like to know my chances of applying for a H1B visa ,, what would be the best to go about it. How one ca find a employer and convince him to sponsor you , and is there any legal agency or a consultant who can help you do that?
Hi, I am Arti. I am looking for a H1B sponsor in quota. I am currently living in Dallas, TX and open for relocation. Please let me know if you know if you can help me in this regards. Thank You! Your posts seem to be very useful. I got my L1 rejected. I need some help in going ahead with my H1 visa initiated now. I am an Indian citizen residing in the UK for more than 4 years. I am working here and am on a Tier 1 General visa.
I have a job offer from a company in the US who are also ready to sponsor a H1B visa for me. As it might be difficult for me to sort holiday and stuff to go back to India for the visa? Any help is highly appreciated. Thank you. Thanks for a quick reply Raghuram, its highly appreciated. Tried quick googling but all I can see it is a case of missing documents and people might end up waiting ages to get a decission is it right?
However, i am not able to travel to US due to some company reasons. I have offer from another company C for H1 transfer. Can the company C apply for my H1 transfer even without that. Please help. Thanks Raghu, for such a quick and prompt reply. My employer is planning to apply for cos from h4 to h1b during this april May i know if i can travel to india once my h1b is approved? Can I go for h4 stamping during the month aug and travel back to US with H4?
Does H4 stamping makes my H1b invalid? Thank you for the help. Hi, Is it valid if I file petition from 2 employers? One is my service company and another is a consultancy. Consultancy might have already started as i did submit documents. Can there be legal consequences? Do enough research — 1 How many H1B visas they filed in the past years and how many they got approved. I converted from L1b to H4 during the year Can u give me ur consultant details.. Am in H4 too and looking for sponsors who will do COS.
My name is maher. I work as a teacher in UAE since until now, and 8 years in Jordan, how can i find a job in USA or canada for immigration pourposes? I need your help plz. For the H1B1 visa I am a Singapore citizen , does the applicant file for the visa herself, unlike the H1B where the employer has to file for her?
Or is it just like the H1B, except with a separate quota? Would you have any idea.. Can you please provide information on cosnsulting companies who can file h1b visa from h4. I was working in India in HR with software company. As I am on dependant visa,I cant work. Do you have any idea. My L1 got expired on Nov However my I94 is valid till Dec Can it be applied under COS as Visa is not valid. What would be the procedure to obtain H1 and work for employer B.
Please advice. Hi, If a non-profit organization wants to extend a 1yr — 5yr contract to an foreign immigrant can they apply for H1B immediately? Does it matter that there is a hiring freeze in the organization? My employer is asking me to file for H1B Change of Status this year itself and I am preparing the documents.
My question , 1. If it gets approved in this time do I need to go for stamping in India itself befor coming back to US. COS is applied against your current I If you go back to India you will have new I94 in which case previous application will be invalid. Its going to really hard to find a consultant. I applied H1B for through one of consultancies, my service center is Vermont. The application was filed on Jun 8th and I got the receipt number. There was not status till now, as I was calling my consultancy regarding my status update, they told our application did not fall into quota , so that is the reason we do not have any update.
For me it sounds weird, I called USCIS service center and they said application is in process and could not tell more details as I filed through attorney,asked me to get more updates from attorney. I am not understanding what to do now.. Lets see what happens. I am looking for one or more people to help me write a detailed article on the new stamping process and experience especially in India.
If anyone is interested in writing that article, it will be very much appreciated. Please respond to this thread if you are interested. Currently on H1 Visa with Employer A. Employer B is ready to offer Manager Role. I got my approval but my company and lawyer are not giving me all documents what should I do please suggest. When you appear for stamping they will have to provide those docs. My employer said they have not received back my rejection package yet June 29 , does it mean that it is in waiting list for H1B ?
Please Advise. I have applied in regular quota. News Alert!!! The amendment to strengthen border security has passed Senate in a vote. It will help in getting more Republican support in both Senate and House. Final vote on the immigration bill still needs to happen. Finally after a longg wait, got my rejection letter back.. Mine was not picked up in lottery, so now all set to have an amazing in India with family… Guys, if it didnt hapen this time, dont lose hope.
Simply enjoyy the time, next year will be our time.. My Employer has file H1B for me in April, Please help Me…. Good luck. Hi, Can someone let me know how long will it take to proceed to the next stage from initial review. Minimum time is 2 Months.. Moderate is 2 t0 6 Months… Sometimes it may even take longer about 6 to 12 Months… Be patient. My friend was tracking this site last year as his H1B git filed and he saw that last year many of the regular processing applications wre getting RFE initially and later on getting apporved but taking almost 6 months in many cases but this year he can see many regular processing application getting responses withing few weeks and most of them getting approved.
I am eagerly waiting for ur response as my petition is filed in this year quota. Any thoughts about this issue? Your case status is set to change.. Is it advance degree or regular quota? I am seeing the same status message for my case. It is showing that from May Did you get any further update? I saw similar status changing state later on in this forum. Please follow the instructions on the notice to submit the requested information….
I filed H1B for my wife , but still no response from USCIS ,her attorney and Employer also did not get any initimation as on today, Is there still any hope like Waitlist or shall we assume its not picked in lottery, 1 more thing check still not cashed.
Pls advice. So its better to prepare for alternate plans. My H4 visa is valid till July 31st Here my concerns are 1 I got my H1 approved, so do I need to raise for the H4 extension or not? Could you please suggest me the best possible strategy in this scenario.
I mean accepted? Your packet will be returned soon. I got to know yesterday that my packet was returned. Receipts for all the setected candidates are sent by May 2nd week. All the best. Best of luck for everybody in the same situation. Just read the new U. S immigration law reform. Do u think it will be applicable for this year?
My friend has filed H1B in the year and his petition got approved. His case number is EAC However he doent have any hard copy of H1B Approval, as his employer is no more 1. If so, how to proceed? Please guide 2. Do we need to pay any fee or so and how it should be filed? My friend got recept number but there is no news for me to my empliyer or lawyer..
And another clause in that says that if it gets approved before 1st october there is a chance of reopen the slot. Is that means whether it is picked in the lottery or not?
