I129 Approved with I797B - Employer forcing to stay for 2 months

[helpseeker87]

Hi,

I am in a very difficult situation. Any help would be appreciated.

My employer filed I-129 petition for transfer of visa and it got approved with I797B (without I94 attached). My previous I94 expired on 12/02/15. As per my employer I have to go to India for stamping and I should go after 2 months(they are literally forcing me not to go now). But I am not sure about this, because as per my understanding I have to leave as soon as possible and get stamping done then come back.

Please suggest what I should do.

Thank you in advance.

You need to leave immediately. Any employment with the current employer without a valid I-94 attached to the current employer is unauthorized and illegal. It is a problem for both employer and employee. But it will cause more issues for you. It is better you leave within 10 days from receiving the decision.
