Praveen001 Posted April 21, 2017 Report Share Posted April 21, 2017 Hi My H1 visa transfer cum extension was submitted on 08.29.2016 and I got the receipt on 09.01.2016. I joined a new company on 09.19.2016 when My New company HR and Attorney told me that the H1 visa transfer has been registered with the USCIS system. Since then I am waiting for the petition approval. It's been 202 days since the visa/I-94 expiration(expired on 10.01.2016). My attorney was not interested for premium processing previously now anyway there is no chance for it. My HR told me recently that nothing we can do at this moment except waiting for the response. Now I am not sure about the next steps. And I have the following doubts, can I stay and work in the US even after May 28 2017 if I won't get an approval before the end of my grace period ? Is it a legal stay? what are the next steps in this case? Could someone answer my questions. Thanks in advance! Regards, Praveen. Link to comment

Praveen001 Posted May 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 Thanks for the update. Do I need to ask my HR to stop payroll or they will be aware of the situation. What happens if my payroll runs during no status? currently I am on bench but getting the salary. Please check and suggest. Regards, Praveen. Link to comment
