I797B without I94-Urgent Help needed

[raj0329]

Hi,

 

I came to US with Emp A with valid Visa till Sep2018, but I resigned from Emp A and joined Emp B. They initiated transfer in May2017(since then i am on their payroll) and got approval in Nov2017(only I 129 got approved ,but not vaid I94). What Options does I have now?

 

Should I leave US and re enter(without stamping and new I94 at POE)

Should I go through Consular process?(I have valid Visa in my passport with Emp A till Sep 2018)

How tough will it be in POE/Consulate?

Am I Out of status now?

 

Please help me in this regard.

Consult your company. You should be able to leave and return with the existing H1 visa and the new approval. I presume you were not in status with A .

Thanks for your reply. I am working with Emp B( from the time they got receipt number). Can I go to near by country for Visit and come back with new I797B and get new I94 at POE?

 

Please help me in this regard. My attorney hasn't responded yet.

If you were not in status with A that explains the Petition approval without I94. Without knowing the circumstances it could be very detrimental to your Immigration Journey for me to suggest a course of action. Touch base with the lawyer again.
