silver5 Posted November 8, 2018 Report Share Posted November 8, 2018 Firstly, I would like to thank you for taking time to respond to my question. My sister's H1B was revoked on June 2nd,2018 and the 60 day period ended on Aug 2nd, 2018. However she was offered a job with a new employer on July 31st but H1B was filed after the 60 day grace period. Notice for receipt for new H1B was received on August 14th, 2018. Attorney informed us that the H1B was filed under Consular Processing in California Service Center. My sister started working for the new employer is this legally allowed. Please suggest on the possible alternatives and solutions for the current situation. i94 Admit until date is showing as "D/S" Link to comment

JoeF Posted November 8, 2018 Report Share Posted November 8, 2018 She can not work for the employer while the petition is pending since she is not in valid H1 status anymore. Link to comment

She should leave USA asap and consult with immigration lawyers to get her immigration case reviewed in depth to avoid or lessen future inevitable issues. Link to comment
Chai Posted November 9, 2018 Report Share Posted November 9, 2018 Fact #1: D/S means the duration of stay to complete studies as long as one remain in FT student. It does not mean to stay as long as one wish. Fact #2: Attorney clearly stated that it is a Councilor Processing i.e. visa to be issue abroad PRIOR to start working. Someone must have misguided her to start working without obtaining a visa. Unfortunate. She must stop working now. Solution: This is a time-sensitive issue with the potential labelling of unauthorized work as well as stay. MUST consult a good attorney. Link to comment

The I-94 has a date on it, so it isn't D/S. As I already said in previous post, she can NOT work. She has to leave the country. Once the H1 petition is approved she can get an H1'visa and enter with that to start working. Link to comment
