H1b Current status is revoked by UCIS

[Kaushiky]

Hi ,

I filed for my H1 visa on October 2015 and received my H1 visa approved on 4th Jan , 2016 . In between since my husband applied for his H1 visa  extension ( Dec, 15) so I got my H4 ( I539) approved on Jan 14th , 2016. During the time of 4th Jan to 14th Jan i went to SSN office assuming i have H1 work visa  to get my SSN number so that I can start the project but I have never received SSN on the basis of my H1 visa and my pay slip not generated against my H1 visa. And later on I assumed since my husband applied for H4 visa extension along with his H1 visa so i get converted to H4 visa again . Currently my H1 is showing revoked by UCIS . Am I not eligible to covert my previous H1 visa again? Can I be considered as out of cap ( cap exempt? )

You have been out of status.

An SSN is not required to start working. Modern payroll systems can handle if an SSN is applied for.

The employer had to pay you.

You need to discuss your situation with a good immigration lawyer ASAP.

did you work atleast few months for the company which you initially got H1?  You are cap exempt, and you are eligible to transfer to another company, But its tough to get approval if you dont have paystubs.
