  1. Yes, Thank you, have already informed the employer. Plan is to file H1 during 1st week of Apr in PP and hope that it gets Approved in 2 - 3 weeks time. Yes, you 're right, the 1st day of work would be 02 May 2022 so my question if new H1 is Approved on or before Apr 21 2022 and work commences on 02 May 2022, is the gap ok or will it bring about any status issues?
  2. Hi - I got laid off this month, H1b is valid till Apr 2023 however, I94 expires on 21 Apr 2022 due to passport validity. I was told that I have time till I94 expiration to find another job. I am currently in the process of changing to a new employer who would be filing my H1b Transfer but the offer start date is 02 May 2022. So, with premium processing, if the H1B gets approved before 21 Apr 2022 with 3 yrs validity and I start my new job on 02 May 2022. Will that put me out of status between 21 Apr 2022 & 02 May 2022?

  4. Hi @Aarav27 - Have you received any updates on your case?
  5. Thank You Shekar11...My return flight was today, so had called up the DOS to check on the status and I was told that my case is being processed locally at the Consulate and that I should contact them for any questions...I am not sure what that exactly means but I haven't seen any update yet on CEAC, so had to cancel my flight. Keeping fingers crossed!!
  6. Thank You @shekar11# I did collect the passports. It had a 221g blue slip requesting for a couple of documents and appear for an interview which I did as well. No documents were checked. After some very basic questions, the VO gave a pink slip with case number. Later, that day I was asked to fill out a questionnaire asking for 15 yrs biographical history, social media info etc which was also filled out and sent back to the consulate. Now, I am waiting to hear back from them with bated breath.
  7. Hi - Myself & wife came to Chennai, INDIA for our 6th H1B/H4 visa stamping. I am working full time & wife on H4-EAD. We were eligible for the Interview Waiver Program, so we dropped off the passports & documents at VAC, Chennai on Mon, Jun 24th 2019. Case was Created on Tue, Jun 25th 2019. CEAC status changed for both applications to Administrative processing on Fri, Jun 28th 2019. We received emails from US-traveldocs on Mon, Jul 01st 2019 that both our passports are ready to be picked up however, CEAC still shows administrative processing which was last updated on Fri, Jun 28th as of Tue, Jul 02nd 2019. Hence, checking to see what this means and if anybody had similar experience(s)? Would appreciate your feedback / input with this regard.
