Hi All

 

I have applied for a visa transfer from X to Y in Jan 14 through regular processing. Last date with X is Jan 6th got receipt before 6th so joined B on Jan 7th.

 

X revoked visa in last week of Feb, Y expedited it to premium and transfer got denied after RFE by March end. It was company's issue not mine.  As soon i checked the status online, i left USA next day, went to India and got my H4 stamping done. VO asked question why i was out of status and explained that i had a pending transfer. I had valid I94 when i left USA so i wasn't illegal but out of status.

 

I came back to USA and got a full time now, i still have more than 2 years left on my revoked H1 so planning to join the company. 

 

1) Am i going to have any issues in future visa process for H1 because i was out of status for 3 months during H1 transfer.

 

2) With new rule that's coming out next 2 month, i will be eligible for EAD through my wife's approved I 140. Am i going to face the same out of status issue for EAD ?

 

Thanks
