H4 Extension with an intent to start schooling
My H4 extension gets expired on August 25th 2020. My spouses immigration attorney applied for our extension jointly on April 28 2020 i.e H1B and H4 extension. My question is; Can I over stay in USA if my approval notice does not get in timely. Or a USCIS case receipt notice is sufficient? And can I use that to start my August term in the university? Thank you for the help.

NOIR on previous H1B employer
Hi All,

I wanted to share my case here:

I was working for employer A and changed job to employer B. Then I changed my employer to Employer C. Meanwhile Employer B recieved a NOIR on the site visit. Employer B replied for the NOIR and I continued my job with employer C. Today I was checking the petition status of the employer B petition number and it says the "

Notice Was Returned To USCIS Because The Post Office Could Not Deliver It" before this i saw the Revocation notice is sent. So I wanted to know, how does this impacts me since I am no longer working with employer B from past 1.5 year?

221(g) and H1B expired/ expiring
Hello,

My H1B approved but i94 was not attached so I had to come to India in Feb for visa stamping.

At the consulate, I received a 221g yellow slip and asked to submit a client vacancy letter, PO, contracts, etc.
Feb 10th - Interview
Feb 19th - Employer emailed documents to Mumbai consulate - EVC model
April 8th - H1B expired

H1B extension in general processing and awaiting a response.

1. Is it okay for the employer to submit / email documents to the consulate instead of me?

2. My H1B petition which is on 221g expired on April 8. Please reach out to me if you have gone through the same situation i.e. H1B expired when in 221g and extension in the process. What will happen in this case? my email is [email protected]

It is tough as I am maintaining my home and other things in the US, don't know when I will be able to return back there and do not have the option to work remote. Please advise.

H4 to H1 transfer
Hello,

I am working on H1B, but due to company condition, I was laid-off. I am trying to move to H1 based on my spouse's H1B. Now after moving to H4, if I find a job, can I recapture my H1B visa? I have valid I-140 and valid I-797.
