vippalamf Posted October 11, 2011 Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 Hi all, I attend for my H1B stamping on May 23rd, 2011. VO asked me to show the Updated I129(Recently moved to different client) which i have not applied when i change my client location. So VO given me the 221G yellow form. I applied it and i submitted all the required documents on June 19th, 2011 I got an email from HYDFPU@state.gov on Oct 10th, 2011 by asking my updated contact number(i have changed my number as i moved to Bangalore). the mail was saying that they called on my old number. I replied back to that email with with my new contact number. My worry is that this mail came from Fraud Prevention Unit(FPU). Are there any one who gone through this kind of situation. Please Help me.. Thanks in advance. Link to comment

adiludm@gmail.com Posted October 13, 2011 Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 My visa was denied. They said they are sending the case back to USCIS for revoke. The reason was they said u had many layers and please apply H1 thru client directly. Questions were Which client Who employer wat work Who manages the work How will you co-ordinate between client and Employer. Who provides laptop for work? Then asked me to wait for 20 mins and then called my name and gave my passport back. I am stuck now :( Same case with 2 more guys today Link to comment
arjunanand Posted October 13, 2011 Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 I just mail from VFS saying that my Visa is Refused and they are recommending my case to USCIS to Revoke. the reason they mentioned was my doesnt have complete control of me because i am working offsite from my empolyer, what ever products i am developing is used by client only it is not benefiting to my emplyer. i am confused now, till now i am working remotely to my client. Does anyone know that if i can still work for my client? and what are my options? can i transfer my H1 to another employer with the same client? anyone pls advise Link to comment

tar53 Posted December 15, 2011 Report Share Posted December 15, 2011 At this point they can't do H1 transfer, it will be new H1 not subjected to CAP Link to comment

rohit666 Posted February 9, 2012 Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 @ arjun H1 transfer would be the only option for you right now as this year H1 acceptance will start from April. Also just tell the truth to your prime vendor about your earlier visa attempt. Link to comment
