<title>Can I enter USA using stamping on one petition and Approval notice from another employer??</title>
<link>http://h1bwiki.com/qa/5869/using-stamping-petition-approval-notice-another-employer</link>
<description>Hi All,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is a rather big post. I have been in the US for 3yrs on H1B visa. I changed employer after moving to the US. I have a valid/approved I-797 from my current employer until June 2019. I work on EC model. I recently came to for stamping and received 221g (blue slip). Before coming to India I received a full-time offer from a fortune 500 company and they were ready to transfer my visa. As, I didn't hear anything from the consulate for almost a month, I spoke to the new employer's attorney and they said I can get my H1B transferred while I am in India, but it has to be through consular notification. All said and done, my new employer has started the H1B transfer and I got the approval with-in a week. A few days back, I received an email from consulate asking for the MSA between my employer and the Client. My current employer has already responded to the consulate's request by submitting all the required documents.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
My question is, since I gave notice to my current employer, what if the consulate asks me to submit my passport for stamping?? Can I travel to US with my current employer's stamping and new employer's approval notice and offer letter??&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Your help/advice would be highly appreciated.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
THANKS IN ADVANCE</description>

<title>URGENT H1B TRANSFER QUESTION - JOB TERMINATION</title>
<link>http://h1bwiki.com/qa/5867/urgent-h1b-transfer-question-job-termination</link>
<description>My last working day was 10/Mar/2018. Grace period is until 7/May/208. My H1B started on 10/Jun/2015 and current extension is till 01/2019 with I94 until 04/2019. Now I got a job offer with New Company A who is filling my H1B Transfer this week and I have not yet started my job with A. I m expecting a better offer from New Company B, which I am interested for - however by the time I receive filed H1B Receipt by Company B, it may cross 7/May. So, Do I have to join Company A, just to activate my H1B filed by Company A, OR I can simply wait till Company B to file and send me H1B receipt and I start working at Company B (pass Company A &amp;amp; not join at all ) - PLEASE ADVISE.Also, Can I start working with the Receipt or full approval is required?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Also is it possible that, when I receive the approval from Employer A or even Employer B, USCIS may give a an Approval with out updated I94, by which I will have to go to India to get is stamped? PLEASE ADVISE - Thanks.</description>

<title>H1b visa stamping in mumbai, how to contact mum consulate?</title>
<link>http://h1bwiki.com/qa/5850/h1b-visa-stamping-in-mumbai-how-to-contact-mum-consulate</link>
<description>Hi All,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I did my Dropbox on 17 nov17.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Got an email to collect passport on 20nov17, but online visa status showed as &amp;quot;admin processing&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When collected passport it was without stamp and had 221g form asking me to attend visa interview alone along with wifes passport and 3 documents - LCA, client letter and paystubs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Attended visa interview on 24nov17.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;VO asked me some basic questions and they took LCA, client letter and paystubs.&lt;br /&gt;
VO looked at LCA and client letter properly. She didn't saw paystubs.&lt;br /&gt;
VO took fingerprints and called my wife inside to take her fingerprinting as well.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Further VO issued me 221g and retained client &amp;amp; vendor letter and returned our passports and informed me that they need to do further verification with my job at clientside. She said it can take around 2 weeks for the verification to get completed and they will inform me further via email.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
My case was created on 17 nov17 and updated on 24nov17 which was my visa interview date.&lt;br /&gt;
It has been more than 2 weeks but no update yet. Also no calls/emails came to my client manager yet.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I am checking the visa status online and waiting for consuler email to arrive.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Is there any way we can ask them for an update, whether they enquired to the client, how long it will take for the process, etc.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I know there are similar cases occurred with other people and based on their and your experience, is there an email address by which we can contact mumbai consulate??&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And is there any specific questioners they ask to our client manager so that I can give headsup to them..?&lt;br /&gt;
Is there anyone who is the same boat, who got 221g in november and whose visa got approved later.?? I think people are not updating their status, once visa is issued.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
USCIS should provide proper status checking.&lt;br /&gt;
If everything was good all documents were clear then for no reason they r putting us in trouble</description>

<title>New h1b in place of abandoned h1b?</title>
<link>http://h1bwiki.com/qa/3131/new-h1b-in-place-of-abandoned-h1b</link>
<description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:rgb(250, 250, 250); font-family:verdana,arial,tahoma,calibri,geneva,sans-serif&quot;&gt;Hi,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:rgb(250, 250, 250); font-family:verdana,arial,tahoma,calibri,geneva,sans-serif&quot;&gt;I did my M.S. in US back in 2007 and I got h1b through h1b lottery in 2007 under STEM category. I used only 1 month of H1b and went back to my home country. I am trying to join a new company now but I cannot transfer my old H1B because it has been almost 9 years. I never entered US on this h1b so far. If the company wants to file a new h1b,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:rgb(250, 250, 250); font-family:verdana,arial,tahoma,calibri,geneva,sans-serif&quot;&gt;1) Do I have to go through the lottery again? If yes, will it be the same procedure just like other new MS graduates next year?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:rgb(250, 250, 250); font-family:verdana,arial,tahoma,calibri,geneva,sans-serif&quot;&gt;2) Is there a way the company can just apply for h1b now not wait for april 1st 2018? If yes, premium processing should take just 15 days, right?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:rgb(250, 250, 250); font-family:verdana,arial,tahoma,calibri,geneva,sans-serif&quot;&gt;Thank you very much for your valuable feedback.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:rgb(250, 250, 250); font-family:verdana,arial,tahoma,calibri,geneva,sans-serif&quot;&gt;Thanks,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:rgb(250, 250, 250); font-family:verdana,arial,tahoma,calibri,geneva,sans-serif&quot;&gt;Raja&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<title>What is the best way to help a college student write an essay?</title>
<link>http://h1bwiki.com/qa/3118/what-is-the-best-way-to-help-a-college-student-write-an-essay</link>
<description>&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; href=&quot;http://www.buyessays.us&quot;&gt;Essay writing&lt;/a&gt; can be a big mission for college students. Most of the scholars I meet, doesn't genuinely take it lots critically and emerge as drafting an essay which is not up to mark. The secret's to first consider your topic, work on it by doing some research, draft essay and when you are achieved, and revise it sometimes earlier than make it final.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<title>RFE for Maintenance of status when work location changed</title>
<link>http://h1bwiki.com/qa/3115/rfe-for-maintenance-of-status-when-work-location-changed</link>
<description>Hi, thanks a lot for your help thus far!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I am still dealing with H1B issues from 2016. I had to change my position &amp;amp; location within the company (same employer) in Sep, 2016. My H1B petition had been selected in the lottery by then and I was working on OPT that had been extended till Sep 30. My H1B petition was filed in Change of Status. I started the new role in Sep, 2016 and I have mostly been in training since then. The HR/lawyers took their time and USCIS received the petition for amendment &amp;amp; extension in mid-Dec, 2016 in premium processing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
USCIS has issued an RFE to explain how I maintained my status with regards to the previous petition. Specifically they have asked how my paystubs show office B (in city B) while I was approved to work in office A (in city A).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What are my options right now? Since I still do not have an H1B visa (I believe I only have H1B status), the outcome impacts my H1B visa and legality of stay for almost 3 months. I am very worried. Could you please let me know how serious this RFE is and what are my options to position myself for maintenance of status?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thanks!</description>

<title>7th yr on H1B(Aprvd 140) with A, transfering to B company that is bought by C already, new mgmt(C) will start in 2 mnths</title>
<link>http://h1bwiki.com/qa/3109/aprvd-transfering-company-bought-already-will-start-mnths</link>
<description>Hi All,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I am on my 7th yr of H1B and have an approved i140(PD 01/20/2013) with company A. My visa is valid until 08/15/2017. I am currently working as a contractor with B company over 3 years and B is willing to hire me and transfer my H1B to B and start the GC process in few months. But B is already bought by C and the transition is in progress. C will start running the whole operations in 2 months. If B's H1B transfer is approved in premium, then I am planning to join B, not while the petition is in motion.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Questions below and expecting expert answers, Thanks in advance:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. What could be the new end date for B's H1B transfer?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. What will happen to the H1B with B, if C start running the whole operations in 2 months?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. As I am not expecting to go out of status and leave the country for any reason, what could be my best ways/odds to smoothly transfer to B, and start working with new C management and retain my priority date (01/20/2013)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thanks,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

<title>h1b visa stamping in santiago, chile for Indian passport holder living in usa</title>
<link>http://h1bwiki.com/qa/3108/visa-stamping-santiago-chile-indian-passport-holder-living</link>
<description>Hi, I am living in usa since several years and planning to goto Santigao, Chile and get my new h1 stamped.I am in my 2nd cycle of 3 years and recently started a new job so need to get the new h1b visa stamped. I have an email from the consulate in santiago saying &amp;quot;since you have the 797 document we can issue you a visa&amp;quot;. Is that enough to just go there on a vacation and get it stamped? I have never heard of any Indian do this before. What happens if they refuse to do it when I go there? and can they say no later or is the email enough proof that they have to honor it?</description>

<title>H1b stamping</title>

<description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:rgb(250, 250, 250); font-family:verdana,arial,tahoma,calibri,geneva,sans-serif&quot;&gt;I need to get my H1B visa stamping done(2nd time). Currently I stay in the USA and I am planning to get my visa stamping done in Canada. My main reason for travelling to Canada is my brother's house warming party. I want to know while applying for Canada tourist visa, do I need to mention that I would be getting my visa stamping done besides stating about my brother's house warming ceremony, .&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:rgb(250, 250, 250); font-family:verdana,arial,tahoma,calibri,geneva,sans-serif&quot;&gt;Since this is my 2nd H1B. Do i have to get visa stamping done with my new employer or I can return back to the US with my old stamping (which would be still valid at the time of entry into US) and also by showing them my approved i797A copy with new employer&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:rgb(250, 250, 250); font-family:verdana,arial,tahoma,calibri,geneva,sans-serif&quot;&gt;Hi,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:rgb(250, 250, 250); font-family:verdana,arial,tahoma,calibri,geneva,sans-serif&quot;&gt;I have done MS in USA from 2006 to 2007 and I got H1b approved from 2008 to 2011 under Master's(STEM) quota. I only worked for 4 months in this visa and I went out of USA. I came back to USA in 2014, starting working using L2 EAD and got cap-exempt(non profit) H1B approved. I am currently working on this H1B visa. Recently, I got an offer from a for profit company and I wanted to transfer my old for-profit H1B to the new company. However, since it has been more than six years(from 2008), my new company's immigration specialist is saying h1b transfer is not possible. Can you please advise?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:rgb(250, 250, 250); font-family:verdana,arial,tahoma,calibri,geneva,sans-serif&quot;&gt;Thank you very much,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color:rgb(250, 250, 250); font-family:verdana,arial,tahoma,calibri,geneva,sans-serif&quot;&gt;Raja&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<title>Move to new job without H1B amendment?</title>
<link>http://h1bwiki.com/qa/3098/move-to-new-job-without-h1b-amendment</link>
<description>Hello. I'm currently working in state X on a H1B visa. I'm working for a client at the client location, my employer (a consultancy) is base out of state Y. I've been working for about 6 months now (my first client after my H1B got approved). My employer has so far not filed an amendment for the location change; my current(and only) I-797 has state Y on it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
My question is this - I want to get a full time job in state X as soon as possible, to be rid of these consultancies once and for all. If I get a FT, will there a problem when the new employer applies for the new H1B petition, as no amendment was filed?</description>

<title>Changing jobs after PERM?</title>
<link>http://h1bwiki.com/qa/3091/changing-jobs-after-perm</link>
<description>I recently got my PERM certified. I'm considering a possible new opportunity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Will I be able to continue from the current point forward, or would an employer change set me back to the beginning of the process? I would be essentially doing the same job activities with the same skills.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The I-140 petition hasn't been filed yet.</description>
