  • Same VISA Type H-1B but Different Petitioner

    Hi,

    I have a valid H-1B VISA and I-797 petition from my old employer (valid till 30th Nov 2015).
    I am moving to new employer now and i got the approval notice and I-797 from my new employer which is valid till May 2017.

    And in the INTERVIEW WAIVER PROGRAM "DROP-BOX" Eligibility Criteria, my ans is Yes for all questions.
    But I am confused with last question -
    If I am applying for an H or L (individual) visa, my prior visa in the same classification with the same petitioner is still valid or expired within the last 12 months.

    I am applying for same visa type and classification with new petitioner but my VISA is still valid with old petitioner.
    Please let me know whether i am eligible for INTERVIEW WAIVER PROGRAM "DROP-BOX" or not ?

    Thanks,
    Athith

    No you are not as your petitioner has changed.

    This is my opinion not legal advice.
