HI,
I am currently employed with Company A on L1B. I had my L1 extended mid April this year in Mexico and currently have a valid L1 Visa, Petition(I129) & I94 until April 2017. Company B applied for my H1B(premium processing) this year on April and it was picked from lottery and was under processing.
Now my issue...
I had travelled twice after the application of H1B petition. Once, to Mexico for my L1B extension. Company B was made aware of it. second, due to an family emergency(Someone in my family had a life threatening emergency and I had to be in India to manage things). I was in India for 5 days, the 3rd week of May this year. I failed to mention this travel to Company B.
My H1 has been denied because of my travel (particularly to India.)
Would filing a MTR help?
How would this denied H1B impact my future applications? Company A may file for H1B next year. Should one not travel while a H1B petition is in progress?
Also please let me know if there is any impact to my current status, as is my L1B looks good.
Note: H1B was applied for Consular Processing.. (assuming I would be in US while the petition in progress). My current I94 is valid till April 2017.
Kindly let me know if any additional information is required and really would appreciate any inputs.
Thanks and Regards
