kiran436 Posted November 26, 2017 Report Share Posted November 26, 2017 Hi, Initially my employer B filed a H1B transfer from employer A in regular processing in April 2017 and had a RFE in MAY 2017 on speciality occupation. Employer B responded to RFE in AUG 2017 but USCIS denied it on OCT 25, 2017. By that time my I-94 had expired (Aug 13, 2017 is expiry date). After couple of days, employer B refiled a new H1B petition in Premium processing through consular process on NOV 16 and got approved on NOV 24 with validity from NOV 27, 2017 to NOV, 2020. My question is... 1) How many days I was in Out Of Status? 2) Will I be in status from NOV 27 ? 3) Since I don't have I-94 and need to leave USA to get Visa stamped, May I know how long it takes to receive hardcopy of I-797 after approval? 4) Will there be any much scrutinization at Visa stamping or Port of entry due to having Out of Status? Are they any recommended answers to handle questions on Out Of Status? Quote Link to comment

vkaperm Posted November 27, 2017 Report Share Posted November 27, 2017 If person I-94 expired and L1 wage level RFE response denied, then that person still be in US provided his/her employer initiate new H1B filing after receiving denial notice? Quote Link to comment
kiran436 Posted November 27, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2017 Hi, I did my educational evaluation through Fordham University. They are good in evaluating education and experience. Their evolution helped me to get it approved. Quote Link to comment
Rajmoody123 Posted November 27, 2017 Report Share Posted November 27, 2017 @kiran436 When your Employer B filed your new petition , Did they apply your petition in the same job position or did they change your job position to some other job position ? I am in the same boat, My H1B got denied for level 1 wage issue, My attorney filed my H1 B extension in wrong job category and wage level. I don't know what to do now could you please suggest what is the best option for me 1. Apply new H1 B petition for the same position in different category and wage level ? 2. Apply new H1 B petition from different employer with a different job position ? I really appreciate your quick response Raj Quote Link to comment
kiran436 Posted November 27, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2017 Hi Raj, Mine is not wage level RFE. It's on speciality occupation. In your case, apply new H1B with same employer for same position with Level wage 2 . Different employer also can do but they need to initiate fresh LCA with same level 2 wages. Quote Link to comment
Bhajagovindam Posted November 27, 2017 Report Share Posted November 27, 2017 Hello Kiran: How did you contact Fordham University for evaluation? It looks like they're a Theology University for the most part and they don't even have school of Engineering. Could you please give some additional information like what's the procedure for evaluation with them? Thanks, B.Govindam Quote Link to comment
Babu17 Posted November 27, 2017 Report Share Posted November 27, 2017 Hi Kiran I have received a similar RFE can you please let me know what all details you have submitted while applying for the consular processing H1. Thanks babu Quote Link to comment
vasars Posted December 11, 2017 Report Share Posted December 11, 2017 Hi Kiran, Could you please provide me more information on the education evaluation. How did you get your evaluation done? Are you travelling out of the country as your I-94 is expired? Regards. Quote Link to comment
Dsss Posted January 2, 2018 Report Share Posted January 2, 2018 @kiran436 Hi Kiran...Can you pls get me the URL of "Fordham University" credential evaluation? Quote Link to comment
GS21 Posted January 5, 2018 Report Share Posted January 5, 2018 Hi kiran, You are like a silver lining to my current scenario. My H1b petition got denied based on specialty occupation, inspite of having a Msc in the same field from a US university. My company is refiling for my h1b with a new LCA. May I know if you had applied for a new LCA with new job title or salary? Quote Link to comment
