Nim1234 Posted April 4, 2018 Report Share Posted April 4, 2018 Hi. My current petition is valid until August 2019. Last year i had to travel for a short term (6 weeks) project for which my employer had filed Amendment. Based on the receipt number i had traveled for the project and came back to the same location where i was earlier located. I continued to work for another project in my original location. In my LCA, my employer gave 2 location while filing the Amendment (original as well as the new location). I got RFE now for the 6 weeks project location. My employer needs to respond back based on the project that i am currently working on. Please confirm if this Amendment gets rejected can the original petition be still valid (that is until August 2019). Link to comment Share on other sites

susheelyarlagadda Posted April 17, 2018 Report Share Posted April 17, 2018 Hello, I work full-time for a consulting company and my first H1 was approved for dates 10/01/2016 - 09/04/2019 with a client in Chicago. In September 2017 I got a new project in Maryland and my amendment was approved for dates 03/31/2017 - 03/30/2018. In March 2018 I filed for H1 extension and unfortunately my project is getting over and I got an RFE on the extension petition. Here are my two questions 1. Can I find a new project and file a new extension with the current employer. 2. Can I go back and work at the previous location in Chicago for another client, where I have an approved H1B petition till September 2019. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites

forsushil Posted April 19, 2018 Report Share Posted April 19, 2018 Hello, I am on H1B and approved I-140. My extension last year was approved until 2020 (I-94 validity), this year my company filed for location change amendment that got denied and refiled. I need to travel to travel to India on a business trip for 15 days, I am planning to get visa stamped (current stamp is valid until Sep 2018) with approved I-797. I am with the same employer for almost 13 years. Can you please guide me should I go for visa stamping or return back with current stamp which is valid until Sep 2018? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites
