Employer Betrayed after successful stamping at Hyderabad.

[bkr_82_in]

Hi Folks,

Its has been in a very tragic incident with me after successful stamping. I just pray to all mighty it never happens to any one.

I had a full time employment offer from USA, LCA was approved, Employer filled a premium petition, I went for visa stamping on 21st october 2011, just ask 3 questions is it a new company i am joining? LCA ? Employer Letter to USCIS?

Visa officer approved the visa and said I will get in 5 working days.

in evening I got a call from my employer saying there was buisness loss and all recruitments haven been freezed, we are not going to call you work here for the time being, we can't gurantee if there would be any oppurtunity in next 3 months, we will reach you if there is any, we Apologies for this we are helpless. please don't resign from your current organisation, thank god I have not.

its a good employer with 1200 employes in US at 4 different locations in USA.

It was really schoking for me. at that point I couldn't ask any question to them. I am still waiting for the passport.

I need some suggestions

- what all should I ask them now?

- Where I stand after this?

- can I apply for a new employer for the same location, is there a chance for visa transfer?

- how & what should i start doing now.?

Get another H1 sponsor. You have already been cap counted.

Your visa is already approved, so wait for the passport to come and find out a new employer and do the H1 transfer. I think this time no need to go for stamping again.

What would be the step by step process involved if I am able to find a H1b Sponsor, I am new to this forum and had applied it was the first time for me.

Once you have found a new employer, the employer would need to file a new H1 for you. Once the H1 is approved, you can enter the US with your current H1 visa and a copy of the new approval notice.

If I get a job, How much time it should take for the employer to get all these done?

With Premium Processing, 15 days for the H1, plus a few days for the LCA.

As has been mentioned, you have already been counted against the CAP and that is an definite advantage.

You were approved the first time by a large employer so, you must have good credentials/ Also an definite advantage.

The economy is still shaky but you got approved when it was even worse. Another advantage.

Things are not as bleak as they first seem.

Good luck.
