Any news on recent H1 rejections in India?

[aj_help]

Hi,

Is there anybody who has heard of any recent H1- B rejections in US consulate in India? I am a direct employee of a reputed American company for 1 year(who has not received any bail-out money!) and who got my visa transfered. I am planning to visit India in May. I need to get my H1-B stamped at that time. With the recent H1-B limitations, I was wondering if it is a good idea to risk going out of the country and try for H1B stamping. Are there any fresh chances of rejection provided I make sure all my documentation is correct?

Carry proof of being in status all the time, all paystubs while you were on H1 irrespective of who your employer was, and all W2s.

Dear Member,
It really doesnot matter comming to INDIA if u think is risk. Remember even genuine candidates also get the 221g etc. "ITS NOT TO WHICH CONSULATE U R GOING WHAT MATTERS IS HOW CONFIDENT AND TRUE(GENUINENS) IS THER". Is there any gaurentee if u NOT come to INDIA and can get VISA...
Pls dont misunderstand ..what i would like to say is "TAKE THE CHANCE WHERE EVER U FEEL R CONFRTABLE n CONFIDENT"

Hope this helps

---- What is meant by recent H1B limitations? Expand the statement further and do not leave it high and dry as many folks are reading these forums and from next month onwards there will be more candidates who will be eager to know more details of such statements

---- Rejections and things like that have always happened in the past. It is only a question of bringing the issue forward in a public forum of this sort

---- Do not be dismayed by all the rumors and hearsay. Do what you can do best. You may not be able to prevent the inevitable

Hello Subramanya,

Sorry if I mislead the forum members in any way by my question or if I was unclear. By H1-b limitations, I meant the new bill not allowing companies receiving bail out money to hire H1-Bs. I understand that this does not directly have any impact on my case, since -
1. My company has not received any bail out money
2. I have been working with this company for 1 year.

But I would like to know that are there any recent known cases of rejection in cases like mine?

Thanks!

---- Rejection of new H1B's for the fiscal year2010 will be known only in May or June when they get processed and the approvals/rejections slowly start trickling in. Till then it is the transfers, extensions and other kinds of H1 changes that will take place. For a fact there is more scrutiny about companies and employees and there are more queries and RFE's than usual. These if unanswered to the satisfaction of the authorities is leading to denials and other such status issues. The rejections will only have to be posted by the candidates themselves, otherwise there is no general database or a website for all this information
