H1B VISA Transfer From India
Hi Everyone,
I have got My H1B VISA stamped by march 2020. and it valid till Aug 2022 (My sponsor was the chennai based company that i am currently working with) Due to pandemic situation i could not make a travel with My H1B yet. Recently i got an Offer from the US based company for FTE position . (My New employer done with all agreements with my current company to hire me) so my new employer has filed a petition for the VISA transfer in premium I yet to get the petition number. I would like to know what are all the procedure i will come across ? (I understand that i need to get the status/decision of VISA transfer case petition)
1. Is it going to be a same kind of H1B interview like i had before ?
2. Also considering the current situation any idea how long will it take to get an appointment ?
3. Do i need to prepare anything specifically for the interview ?
Please share your experience if any one of you came across situation before. Thank you !

Only 6 months left on my H1B 6 year cap, what should I do?
HI,
I lost my job in the US just before my PERM was being filed by my employer.
I am presently in India, and contemplating applying for H1B jobs in the US.
I only have 6 months left on my visa, what should my potential employers do if I am offered a job in the US?
I don't think 6 months will be enough to get my I-140, what are my alternatives?
Please share your similar experiences or suggestions, if any.
Thank you!

My Petition approved but not stamped, going to expire
Hello Friends,
My H1b petition has been approved from 2018 - Sep-2021, but its not been stamped yet. It's gonna expire by this september'2021. If I don't get stamped before September, what will happen to my case?
Can petition be extended after expiry? (i.e., After September)

Drop-box 221G for H1-Extension
Hi All,
I have been working for my organization for the last 15 years with prior H1-B as well. I had got my new H1-B stamped last year, but due to various reason did not travel to US. I applied for an extension with the same details this year through the drop-box option in Delhi consulate based on slot availability. For some reason, I got a white 221G slip suggesting me to visit the consulate any time before 10 am in the next 1 year. I had applied for H4 for my wife and she was issued the visa.
Considering the pandemic situation Delhi consulate is closed till May 9th with no certainty that it would resume after that. Is it really mandatory for the 221G cases to visit the same Consulate (in my case Delhi) wherein their application was first processed? Or am I allowed to visit any other consulate with that slip along with all other recommended documents?
Request you to share your experience on this.
Thanks
Ritesh

H1B NOIR Reaffirmed
Hi all,
My old employer A received a NOIR last year on an expired petition. They did not tell me about it until this year.
I am with employer B now on H1B and with I140 approved.
I am moving to employer C and they reached out to employer A for background verification.
When i checked my first H1B status it shows that USCIS reaffirmed after the NOIR was issued and was sent back to department of state.
Can DOS/USCIS reopen my NOIR and revoke as being claimed by employer A now. Looks like he is blackmailing me now as employer C has reached out to them.
Any one here whose NOIR was reaffirmed by USCIS.
