Hi,
My Company A had applied for my H1B in April 2014. I came under the Aug, 2014 cap from my Company A and that my petition has been approved. I have been notified by Company A, that I have got it approved and have been provided only the Receipt Number of the petition. My Company A had asked me to sign a bond for 2 years starting from Jan 2014 to Jan 2016.
My Company now doesnt seem to have any projects to send me for stamping and its been pending in the approved state. Now on Nov 2014 my Company A got acquired by Company A1 who is not bothered of stamping my visa. I had put up my profile in job sites citing that I have H1B petition approved & got called by Company B who interviewed and selected me because I am an H1B visa/ petition holder as they had immediate onsite projects. I am planning to resign assuming that the Bond I had signed with Company A/A1 is only valid if they had stamped it, which they have not.
I am worried for the below reasons.
1) Can my Company A (now Company A1) sponsored visa approval petition be transferred to Company B?
2) Can Company A (now Company A1) cancel my petition if I resign?
3) Can my visa be stamped by Company B only with the Receipt ID (which I am sure is mine)?
4) Can I fail my H1B interview for the reasons that I am applying on behalf of Company B instead of A/A1?
5) If Company A/A1 can cancel my petition, can Company B apply for a new petition without the Lottery and procedures in less time?
6) Will Company A/A1 be notified if Company B is planning to go forward with my petition?
Thanks, Mjay
