Sevis terminated with h1 consular processing
Hi everyone,
I applied for a consular processing h1 in feb last year (big mistake, regretting it now) and noticed that my f1 was terminated by sevis regardless. My company’s legal people are filing for a switch to adjustment of status (I think it’s a whole new application). My university has raised a ticket ith one of uscis or sevis to reverse the status to active. Can someone please comment on the timeline for the reversal, whether the new h1 filing will be hindered by the sevis issue, worst case scenario outcome? Thanks in advance!

DS-160 Application Related
Hi,
My wife is currently pursuing her Masters degree on H4 visa. Also, we are in the midst of filling-up the DS-160 application for her H4 Visa stamping (renewal process). My question is whether to mention about her current Masters education in the 'DS-160' form whatsoever or should we just exclude it altogether?

H4 Stamping Concerns
Hello,
I'm currently on H1B in the US, my wedding is India in July after which my Spouse will be attending H4 Stamping interview. I have a few concerns and would appreciate all of your input, if anyone has been on the same boat -
1. I had a transfer last year in June. The new company I work for is a large firm with several affiliates. For example my Petition was under affiliate ABC-123 but for the first few weeks of my employment my payroll was run under affiliate ABC-345 and then the HR department shifted me to the correct affiliate.
So I have two W2's [For last year] from the same company but different affiliates ABC-123 & ABC-345, will this be an issue during my spouse's H4 interview?
2. Also, MY H1B visa stamp is from the old employer and not new employer as it is valid till next year. Will this cause any issue during her H4 interview? The new petition and old visa almost have the same end validity dates.
Thanks in advance.
