Hi Folks,
I am working here in U.S. on L1B visa from company X. A different Company A filed my H1B application in May 2010 and status shows as USCIS has sent an RFE in March 2011, dont know why did so late. I also got an offer from a big company B recently but they have put the offer on hold till oct 2011 as they need to file my new H1B and I can start working for them in oct. Company B is willing to give me a position now in U.S. but just can't give me due to visa constraints so thay told me to wait till Oct 2011.
Just looking for some answers since my H1B application is still pending for 2011:
1. I read in economictimes that H1B CAP has already reached for 2011 so dont know why they have sent an RFE so late for my case which was filed in May 2010. Is there a hope that my application will get approved from Company A once they reply to RFE?
2. I am willing to join Company B and I can join it even before Oct 2011 if I get my 2010 H1B application approved from Company A. As USCIS has sent an RFE and Company A needs to respond to that to get my application approved, Can I tell my Company B that I already have an application pending so they can submit an application to change the employer name from A to B and get the application approved to get the advantage of 2011 cap so that I can join them immediately?
3. Should I wait for the Company A to file RFE and get the H1B approved? As I am not going to work company A, I can tell Company B to offer me a position since now I have the approved 2011 H1B and they can file a transfer from company A to B? This way I can join them immediately I guess as I will get my visa in 2011 cap and can join them immediately.
4. As I am not going to join Company A, Do I need the paystubs from Company A to take my H1B transfer to Company B? What docs should I get from Company A to make the easy transfer?
5. What are the other possible options for my case?
Please Please adviceā¦.
Thanks.
