l1b_cos_h1b Posted October 21, 2014 Report Share Posted October 21, 2014 First thanks to all who take time to answer questions. I really appreciate that. I joined a new employer in July 2014 and they filed for my H1B. It got approved and is valid till Apr 2017(I-797A with I-94). In September while going through the documents I realized that there was an error in my salary in LCA & H1B application. The HR immediately filed for H1B amendment with PP. And the HR told me that they will do consular processing. I still donno why? I asked them many times but they kept insisting to go for consular processing. The amendment again got approved. I now have I-797B without I-94. I received I-797 yesterday and I am traveling to India this Friday. Is my previous I-94 still valid? As I got new H1B with consular processing? Am I out of status now? Thanks for your help. Link to comment
itsmeusa Posted October 22, 2014 Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 You can't work on H-1b unless you go out, get H-1b stamped and come back again on H-1b. You are not out of status. Link to comment
