Hi Mr Subramanya!!!!,
Hope you are doing well!!!!
I am really hoping valuable advice.
I worked for xxx company and got B1 (first) (valid till 2014) and then H1B (valid till Sep 2007) thru the same employer. But did not get chance to go to US thru them. That is why I changed the company and working with yyy company.
Thru yyyy, I went to US in Aug2006. But that time my international HR told me that I need to cancel my H1B visa otherwise I may face problem while entering US, since I have two valid visas simultaneously. And did the same thru Mumbai consulate. Now my H1B is having "Cancelled without prejudices", but which is valid till Sep-2007.
I travelled to US thru my B1 visa.
Then after that in Jan'07, I got the offer from US company zzz (based in Mumbai as well) for long term. And they applied for H1B transfer!!! I received the Receipt Notice as well for the same. Notice date is: 12-March-2007. And I am waiting for Approval Notice.
Would you please tell me how much time it would take to get the Approval Notice and whether I will face any problem getting that?
Subramanya,
Now I am not sure whether this will work out well or not. I heard that if you have not travelled on your H1B prior then that visa is invalid.
zzz company HR is saying that no need to worry, since this is valid transfer case and this is out of H1B 2008 quota; I will travel to US immediately once I get the Approval Notice probably by May or June.
Would you please tell whether I need to goto US consulate for getting the fresh/transferred H1B or old H1B will work (but that is having "Cancelled without prejudices" stamp)?
Now I have one more concern Subramanya that I have received the offer from local qqq company with really good hike. But if I join qqq company now and get the H1B Approval Notice after sometime say by May, then there will me mess up in my resume. And offcourse I wont like to lose the US offer!!!!
But on the other hand if H1B does not work out well, then I will regret not joining qqq company. Please comment on this as well.
Thanks a ton in advance Subramanya!!!
Thanks & Regards,
Chetan
