a_a_p Posted November 30, 2018 Report Share Posted November 30, 2018 Hello, My I-94 was expired in Sept'18. H1B extension filed by my current employer was denied in Nov'18. I am exiting the current employer by end of Nov'18. Meanwhile i got a job offer from another employer. 'change of employer' petition was filed by my new employer for me in Aug'18 which was approved in Nov'18. I will be joining my new employer from Dec'18. (Approved H1B is valid from Jul'18.) In this case will my presence be considered unlawful from Sept'18 till Nov'18? If not what would be my status during this period? Link to comment Share on other sites

Unless a determination is made that you are out of status, ULP should not start to accrue until August 2019. However, based on the details you provided, it appears you are currently out of status and beyond the 60 day grace period. Link to comment Share on other sites
Sachindra Posted December 19, 2018 Report Share Posted December 19, 2018 Hi, I was laid off by my previous employer A in July 2018 and asked to transfer in 60 days. I found a new employer B and in approx 1 month and initiated my H1B Visa transfer and joined B on receipt number. Employer B transfer got rejected today, attorney haven't received denial notice yet. I checked and looked like my Employer A I 797 is not revoked yet which is valid till Aug-2021. What Options I have? Can I stay, but not work and initiate new H1 Transfer for same employer B and client? Can I stay, but not work and initiate new H1 Transfer for other employer/client? Am I out of status after receiving the denial notice or can do above mentioned transfer activities staying in US? Please help and advise. Regards, Sachindra Link to comment Share on other sites
