I graduated last year, and worked for a company on OPT, then that company helped me applied H1 early this year, and I got approved and started on Oct.
My company told me that I don't need to worry about the status, it will change from OPT to H1 automatically.
But after almost one month after start date, I just get to know my i-797 file turns out to be a i-797b which I need to get my stamped VISA back to my home country before the start date (according to the Internet).
Thanks to my company, right now I'm worry about my status. But company hire lawyer to handle the application, so they don't know more than I do about H1.
1.Is there any suggestions to fix this?
2.I'm looking for new job with transfer. Interview comes to the final stage. Do I need to tell new company about this situation?
Thank you.
