Well, that is not an excuse. It takes about 2 months to get the H4 processed. You should have applied for the SSN immediately upon receiving the H1B petition. You mentioned in your first post that you were in H1 for 3 months? What were you doing in H1B for 3 months without caring to apply for the SSN. It was just you negligence. When you have filed a COS to H4 within 10 days of H1B approval, why did you keep working for the employer? Some information doesn't seem right here. I suggest you consult an attorney.

My employer filed for H1 and after 3 months on H1 and having got no Job I filed for H4 without my employers consent.Last edited by shervin143; 05-15-2012, 08:41 PM.

Also, when you are in H1B status, irrespective of whether the employer is able to find you work or not, they are suppose to pay you as per the approved LCA. If not, you are considered to be out of status on H1B and a COS to H4 or any other status may not work. Also, it may cause issues later when you go for visa stamping or when yuo file your GC. You should complaint to DOL and make the employer pay to reinstate your status. Check the below links.

H1 to H4
Hi....My employer filed for H1 and after 3 months on H1 and having got no Job I filed for H4 without my employers consent.
I had to bear 50% of my H1 fee, now they are asking for the remaining which I am willing to pay.
I have no SSN.
Can the employer be troublesome even after paying the remaining amount?Tags: None
