SupariSharma Posted February 2, 2020 Report Share Posted February 2, 2020 (edited) An approved H1b visa was later revoked due to non-appearance in consulate office in 2013. I was not informed on timely basis by the company. There was work done and pay received for 4 months on this H1b visa before it was revoked. 1. Does it amount to anything illegal? Am thinking no, because work was only performed when the Visa was approved in status. 2. After visa is revoked, how much time is left for person to leave country? a) Standard 60 days b) I-94 expiry c) previous I-797 copy expiry date d) current I-797 copy expiry date 3. Has your visa ever been revoked? Answer should be yes? GL, Supari Edited February 2, 2020 by SupariSharma Quote Link to comment
gopalakrishnach Posted February 3, 2020 Report Share Posted February 3, 2020 1. Nothing illegal. 2. Standard 60 days or I94 expiry which ever comes first. 3. Did you ever go to visa stamping and got visa stamped and later that VISA got revoked? If yes then YES. H1B revocation and visa revocation are different. Quote Link to comment

I-94 expiry was good, it wasn't for another year 3. I did not go for Visa Stamping. I simply abandoned and it took 4 months for confusion to subside. I hired private attorney and got clarity. I returned to India and never appeared for stamping. So, in this case, is the answer to the Q. Has your visa ever been revoked, Yes? Thanks, Supari Quote Link to comment

Was the H1 petition issued by USCIS revoked, or the visa issued by the consulate? These are two different things. Quote Link to comment
SupariSharma Posted February 9, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2020 (edited) It was the I-797 that was revoked. The answer is No, Thanks Gopal and JoeF Edited February 9, 2020 by SupariSharma Quote Link to comment
