Trust2020 Posted March 14, 2020 Report Share Posted March 14, 2020 Hello I am in a panic situation my H1B transfer petition got denied on 9th March 2020. My employment has been terminated. There is currently travel restriction for US citizen(My Kids) from 13th March 2020 till 15th April 2020 to India. I don’t want to travel currently in Corona virus situation and take the chance of life risk for my family. Can Temporary Protected Status (TPS) is applicable in my situation and how much time does that take to approve with EAD. Also can I re-file my H1B again from USA as my I-94 got expired with the TPS valid. Any suggestion and help will be appreciated. Regards Trust2020 Quote Link to comment
JoeF Posted March 16, 2020 Report Share Posted March 16, 2020 TPS is not for these situation. And this is a pandemic, it is worldwide. It is going to be worse in the US than in many other countries because of the totally screwed-up handling by the US administration. A new H1 would only be with consular notification.

adshah84 Posted March 16, 2020 Report Share Posted March 16, 2020 You need to talk with lawyer regarding this!! Quote Link to comment
User099 Posted March 17, 2020 Report Share Posted March 17, 2020 TPS is not in the picture yet. You can check with an attorney to see if you can file for a B1/B2 in these circumstances to stay here legally. Quote Link to comment

The most important reason why it is more danger in USA is USA is the only developed country with MOST number of un-insured people. They are real risk to society. Quote Link to comment

There are lot of good and hard working people who can't afford it due to many reason. Its the failure of the government that it can't provide affordable health care to its citizens.

People on H1 make more than most Americans. So, people on H1 can afford health care. If your employer doesn't pay you at least the prevailing wage for your job in your place of work, file a complaint with DOL on form WH4. Quote Link to comment
