Let me explain my situation a bit.
My current h1b was issued as a Consulate Processing, because my F1 status expired at the time h1b was filed. I actually filed a F1 reinstatement before applying for the h1b because I did not know my F1 expired and I did not intend to stay illegally. The F1 reinstatement case did not give a response until 4 months after the H1B was approved and the reinstatement was denied because I have already changed my status to H1B, which is reasonable.
My question is whether I should let my lawyer know about the situation before she files the h1b transfer for me. The lawyer was assigned by my new company.
My F1 was automatically terminated because in the last semester there were only two courses(6 credits) and my school requires a form to be submitted if we are enrolled under 12 credits per semester, and I forgot to submit the form; my school did not let me know until the status was automatically terminated. I filed for F1 reinstatement as soon as I knew of the situation, so I assume I did not stay illegal here?
Would this affect my h1b transfer at all?
Thank you very much! I appreciate every advice!
