Hello all,
My friend obtained his h1b stamping during Oct 2011 and has not yet traveled on h1b stamping.
Situation: Now his h1 employer has lost (got cancelled) some client contracts and therefore told my friend not to come over to US at this point in time, as he may have to pay my friend right from day 1 after landing.
My friend has found new h1 transfer employer and a project through them. The other employer is fairly large IT services company in the US and have told my friend to come over with the same visa to the US and then get initiate the transfer the very same day after landing.
Based on the above we require some clarifications:
1. Would such h1 transfer be ok as my friend would have not pay stubs from my new employer ?
2. Assuming the transfer goes through fine and my friend joins the new h1 transfer employer, would their be any other implications in the future while travelling abroad ? Such as ... my friend may have to travel back to India for marriage or getting his spouse maybe after 6-9 months. Not sure if he should go again for stamping again.
3. How to find out if the h1b visa stamping from the present employer is presently valid status AND NOT been revoked by the present employer ? My friend does not have access to the attorneys who filed the visa on the companies behalf.
4. If his h1 is revoked, would my friend fall under the cap again for the next year or would be cap exempted while applying with a new employer?
5. How long would the transfer of the visa take if the transfer is applied thru premium processing after landing in US.?
6. New employer may ask for a bond signing for staying with them for 1 or 2 years. Is it a good idea to sign ?
My apologies if i have asked too many questions. Really appreciate any help here.
Thanks for any suggestions in advance,
Deep
