Hi,
I my H1B approved on Jan 3rd 2011, after responding to an RFE (checked my petition status on USCIS website). I was on H4 visa earlier.
My employer has not received the approval yet, whereas, USCIS website says, that the approval notice was mailed on 3rd Jan, 2011. My employer is about to apply for I 824 in a few days.
Since I was on H4 earlier, I don't have an SSN. And I can not apply for one until I receive the approval notice.
My concern is that, payroll systems can handle to run payroll without SSN only for upto 90 days, and if I-824 processing takes about a minimum 3 months, I will be without an SSN for a minimum of 4 months (30 days wait time before applying I-824, and 90 days after applying).
Can someone please tell me, how my H1B status can be maintained if I have to apply for I-824?
