Visa Stamping - current visa expired, changed employer, PERM under processing

[RobinRajapandian]

Hello,

My current status:

1. VISA that is currently stamped on my passport expired during June 2019
2. I changed my employer during May 2019 and is valid till Mar 2021
3. PERM is under process now

I am planning to travel to India(Chennai) during May 2020.

Questions:

1.  Am I eligible for Dropbox?
2. What happens if I get my i140 when I travel?
3. Anything else I should be aware of?

Please advise. Thanks in advance!

There are other conditions too which you will have to satisfy to qualify for dropbox. You should be able to check those online.

2. Nothing. You need not be in US.

1. You can answer all the questions while booking appointment and then you can know whether you are eligible. Employer change filter has been removed for drop box eligibility. But there are some more criteria's.

2. No issues.

3. Just take all your docs.

1. Fill form and it will tell you. Even drop box they might ask you to come for in-person. That is normal so plan accordingly.

2. Nothing. Its normal. When they started processing. It takes 6+months.

3. I do not know...

Don’t know about the change in employer, but general dropbox requirements are no change in visa class (ie H1) and visa expired within the last year. You meet both.

Nothing happens when your I-140 is approved. Only thing is if you submit your ds160 prior to I-140 approval then you may have to redo the form to say “yes” to the question “ has anyone filed an immigrant petition on your behalf”
