Hope you guys are doing good. I have a question about my H1B extension. My current H1B for the initial 3 years expired on Oct 1,2009 and I got my extension for another 3 years approved until Oct 2012. I haven't got my H1B visa stamped for this renewal. By reading some of the posts, I understand that I need to get my H1B visa stamped for the renewal only if I go out of US and come back....

Hi, If my h1b is due for renewal for the 2nd term in next 3 or 4 months and I transfer my h1b to a new employer, will the USCIS give a h1b for the next 3 years automatically or after I transfer my visa to new employer I still have to file for extension for the next term. Thanks, Abhishek

Hi Everyone, I am currently a graduating student on a F1 visa. I am interested in company X but company X is not willing to sponsor any H1B candidates. So they recommend me to get in touch with a "H1B consultant" Y who will 'place me in company X'. I am not sure what this 'place me in company X' means. I read about it and it seems that what this means is that -- Y will hire me as a ...

I am on an H1B visa and my company is also sponsoring me for the green card. Due to the status of the economy I am afraid that very soon the company might have to close. Of course I believe in that case I can't be sponsored by them for green card anymore and the process stops but my question is, how long can I stay in the USA to look for another job? Should I go back to my contry right away if I...

Hi. My wife is planning to enter soon on H1B sponsored by a software consultancy. Due to the questionable practices of some of these organizations, there is the possibility that she will fall out of status at some point during her employment with them. Meanwhile, I am a permanent resident, and have filed an I-130 for my wife, which is currently pending. I'll be eligible for citizenship in ...

I have a H1B extension valid from say 12/15/2009. My current H1 expires on 12/14/2009. Question: Can I leave the country and get new visa stamped before 12/15? I am fine if they issue me visa from 12/15 since I am anyway traveling back to US after that date but can I go for stamping interview on say 12/10 with a petition that has a start date of 12/15 to get my visa stamped?

I had to do H1 transfer because my previous employer laid me off. Fortunately I got the project and started working for another employer who filed me transfer. Over there, case was handled by the immigration department of my company. Once the MTR got denied saying client's information is not provided, looks like they might not have sent proper documents to USCIS. Then they hired a lawyer for my ...
