Visa Approval Status

Hello

My H1 visa transfer got approved from company A to company B. My new visa start date is 7 Jan 2019. So here are my questions
1) After the stamping is done. Can I enter the US on 5th or 6th Jan which is earlier than the start date (7th jan)?
2) If I resign company A and they revoke my h1b will I ll be status less. If so then what will be the good time to resign?
3) What all documents will be required from company B since I ll be having no pay stubs from company B. And its a fulltime position so do I need a client letter or any other important document from the company B?
4) Do I require any document from company A?

Thanks

If your visa effective from 7th Jan and you start your journey on 5th Jan, then if you reach at 7th Jan or after it would be OK.

Withdraw H1-B Petition for Nonprofit

Hi,
Can I switch companies while my H1-B status is approved (but not started yet) with cap-exempt companies?


I am currently working on OPT status for nonprofit, with STEM extension available. OPT is expiring in July.
My employer wants to file nonprofit H1-B, with start date of July. They are not going to do STEM extension. I want to get for-profit H1-B , so I am looking to switch.

Can I let them apply for the H1-B, and when I get another offer from another company (before July) file for STEM extension and switch to that company? Can they revoke this petition as I am no longer their employee or is my status stuck???
Am I locked if they file for H1-B (while still on OPT status)?

Thanks!!!

I am currently on my STEM-OPT. My current employer (Company A) has filed for my H1B this April. However, I received an offer from Company B, just a week after Company A filed for my H1B for 2019. I am guessing it is too late for Company B to file for my H1B as it is already passed the filing date for the 2019 H1B filing. So I wanted to know what my options are.

A) Do I need to wait to find out what my H1B result is with Company A before I can move to Company B?
B) How soon can I join Company B?
C) If my visa gets approved on behalf of Company A, is there a minimum period that I need to work for them before I can switch to Company B? (6o days or something) If so, will those 60 days be counted from the end of May when I get to know my result, or from October 1st?
D) Is there any way for me to join Company B asap and have them apply for my H1B even though it is already past the April 2nd filing date? What possible options do I have for joining Company B as soon as possible?

You should wait until you know whether your H-1B petition with Company A has been selected under the cap. If it has been, you would best served to wait until after October 1 before changing companies. If you leave before that, Company A could withdraw your H-1B petition, and you'll lose it. Once October comes and you're in H-1B status, wait a few pay cycles so that you once a new employer files a change of employer H-1B petition for you, you'll be able to prove to USCIS that you have been working in H-1B status and are therefore eligible to "port" to a new employer under AC21. Porting will allow you to start with a new employer once they file a change of employer H-1B petition with USCIS. I know this is probably not what you were hoping to hear, but your best strategy for keeping your H-1B petition is to work for a month or so in H-1B status before changing employers. You might only get selected under the H cap once, so why risk it? The H-1B cap has already been hit, so it's too late for a new employer to file a cap-subject petition.

If your H-1B petition is not selected under the cap, then you can switch employers now. Your new employer will want to know how much time you have left on your OPT and whether you're eligible for the STEM extension.

Hi,

I have received my H1B in 2017 with X company and it started from Oct 2017 and in Feb 2018 i had a new opportunity and changed to a new employer Y by filing visa transfer.

Now its been only a month and my old employer wants me back and negotiations went well and now i want to move back to my old employer.

Is it possible to move back ? should my old employer file a transfer again ? How long should i wait before another transfer ?

Thanks

Hi

You can get it transferred as many times and in as short span of time as any H1b Wants, there is no restrictions of any kind.
Hope it will help you.

Any help is appreciated!

How will late I-983 affect H1-B?

Recently DHS passed certain "compliance regulations" for the STEM OPT extension which require students to report a change of employer within 10 days while a student is on STEM OPT. Its been two months and I haven't reported yet. My employer has taken a long time to generate I-983 (I informed a month late).


Since I am "not in compliance" with STEM OPT reporting requirements, what is the worst that could happen?

There are two options for filing the work visa: change of status and consular processing

Which one should I go for to ensure maximum chances of approval?
