jseeker Posted October 2, 2015 Report Share Posted October 2, 2015 Hello, One of my friends landed up in a weird situation and need urgent help. -He is working in company A on OPT. The OPT is valid until Nov 2016 -He has applied for H1B through a different employer (employer B) and it is approved -Employer B, for some reason revoked H1B and he got an email today that the H1 is revoked -To be on the safer side, my friend checked with the immigration helpdesk at his college yesterday and they said his status is changed to H1 -He got a new job offer from employer C -He just got email from USCIS today evening that his H1 is revoked today Following are my questions: -What is his status? -Can he convert back to OPT? If so, how? -What are his best options? A quick response will be highly appreciated. -jseeker Link to comment
JoeF Posted October 2, 2015 Report Share Posted October 2, 2015 Obviously, the employer informed USCIS before Oct. 1 that the job no longer exists. That means your friend (or is it you) has not been counted for the H1 quota. A transfer is not possible. A new employer can file an H1 for him next April, with a start date of Oct. 2016. Until then, he has to leave the country. Link to comment
krishna.ck Posted October 3, 2015 Report Share Posted October 3, 2015 Hi, As this is really critical period for your friend, I would recommend engage one Immigration Attorney and go further. Otherwise your friend may go to out of status. Regards. Link to comment
