Got h1b Stamped after getting 221(g) - Change of work location in LCA
Hi everyone,
I attended my interview in Chennai consulate on 23/10/2009:
The vo started with the question:
Vo: How are you?
Me: Good! Thanks
Vo: What you will do for YYYY ?
Me: Explained about the in house project which I’m going to work for (which was provided by employer).
Vo: What is your highest degree?
Me: Masters in CS
Vo: Where you will work in the US?
me: New Jersey (which is wrong, actually my employer is in New York, but my stay address was mentioned as New Jersey in my application form)
Vo: Verified the LCA for work location. And asked it is mentioned as New York?
Vo: Are you sure about your work location?
Me: Yes Sir.
Vo: Typed something in the system.
Vo: Gave me blue form 221(g); and asked me to get an LCA for the New Jersey site.
I was really confused about the work location; I thought I will be searching a job in New Jersey. It was my mistake.
I told about this to my employer on the same day (23/10/2009), they said it is not possible to get a new LCA for New Jersey. They said we can explain like, I will be working in my employers office in New York and staying in employers guest house in New Jersey. And submit the lease document, and in house project details as a proof with other mandatory documents including the old LCA which contains New York.
Got the explination letter from my employer on 30/10/2009.
Letter from my employer:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
With respect to the case number xxxx-xxxx-xxx-221(g) (221(g) case number)
(My approval notice details)
So and so employee will be working in New York only and he will be staying in
New Jersey. The same has been clearly mentioned in the DS156 form when the
employee came for the interview.
The employee by mistake mentioned his work location as New Jersey.
Project Description:
So, Mr. Joseph will be working in our registered New York office in so and so
project.
My role in the project:
So we respectfully request you to provide him the h1b with multiple entries.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Submitted my passport with approval notice, I129 fully filled application form, LCA and the explanation letter to the VFS Chennai Office on 02/11/2009.
Go my H1B stamped with in two days i.e. on 05/11/2009.
So 221(g) guys they are there to serve you so don’t worry.
You will surly get it. Trust me.
Note: Don’t forget to keep you passport even if they don’t ask you to provide it.
Thanks,
Joseph

Visa Interview
Hi
My H1B petition was picked up last year for the 2008-09 tenure.
I didn't go for the visa interview then as the US market was bad.
Now as the job market seems to be improved atleast for Java and .Net.
I have scheduled my interview on November 5th at Hyd consulate.
My US employer has provided all the docs to me except client letter/Internal Project.
He has told to answer that there are several openings on Java with the clients of my US
employer and as the clients need an inperson interview so I do not have a letter now.
Can you please tell me how far this is going to work ?
Please provide your suggestions.
venky
