First H1 - B '15 Approved & Visa Stamped Still in India - NOIR Received

[Sasu2014]

Hi,

 

I have my first H1-B approved and Stamped (for 3 years) in August. I made all arrangement for my travel to US in Oct'14 but In Sep'14 my employer received NOIR saying I was not at the client location during their client site visit. My employer replied to the USCIS with the relevant docs.

 

My questions here are 

 

• Can I still travel to US with the Visa  (I currently have a job offer)
• What if My Petition is revoked - Can I choose a different employer ? If so should I again attend the interview at the consulate.

Would you suggest any other alternate approach.

 

Thanks,

Sasu

I don't think its a good time when your H1 is under NOIR. No need of new visa if your current visa is still valid.

 

BTW, why were you not available during the client site visit?

The site visit happened in july'14 where at that time i still do not have my visa stamped

So you mean to say that USCIS officers made a visit before your H1 start date??

Let employer or attorney sort this issue before your travel. Postpone your trip.

Yes the site visit happened even before my h1 start date
