Jay_Kay Posted February 5, 2023 Report Share Posted February 5, 2023 Good day, I am a Canadian citizen working in the U.S on TN. A consultant company I worked for on TN applied for my H1-B and I was selected in the lottery by USCIS and the application was approved.However, before I could work on H1-B, I was let go (in September). I joined another company in a permanent position (in October). They mentioned I will need to go through H1-B lottery selection again.I mentioned that they could do a transfer of the H1-B and I don’t have go through the lottery. But they insisted I will have to. They have tried for 2 years and I have not been selected in the lottery yet. So I am working on TN status for them.I would appreciate if you could please guide me in whether I will need to go through the lottery process again or I don’t have to, as I had been approved 2 years ago. Please advise. Quote Link to comment
Zodiac System Posted February 6, 2023 Report Share Posted February 6, 2023 Find an employer who is willing to use your current H1b approval and file a transfer. Good Luck. Quote Link to comment
