F1 to H1 Journey
Hi everyone,

1st H1B. My first passport got tear which had the F1 visa. and canceled by Hyderabad airport and got a new one. The new passport did not have any Visa in it. My employer applied H1 petition in 2018 April until Feb 2nd there was no update on my h1 case. H1 premium process opened on FEB 2nd and I immediately opted for premium. After that I received RFE and we replied pretty soon. On April 9th I received my h1 copy from employers. Was expecting administrative processing because this is my second masters on CPT. Once I got to know that my i94 was not approved I immediately left the USA and landed in India. In-between I rescheduled my visa interview three times.
