Scandata Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 Hi All, This is my situation. I got my first H1b petition approved through a company A back in October 2006 and I have stayed in USA for the following periods on my H1b visa. 02-24-2007 to 05-23-2008 06-27-2008 to 11-13-2009 02-13-2010 to 10-20-2011 11-26-2011 to Till date Now, i have my I94 valid till end of Sep 2012. >Company A wants to file for my extension now to recapture the period of stay outside US (6-7 months). >Company B is willing to file for my H1b transfer in a premium mode and also has promised to process my Green Card immediately. So my question is that, is it ok to file for my H1b extension through Company A and H1b transfer through Company B at the same time. This is just to make sure i have a backup just incase i have a problem with my transfer. Please note my I94 is valid for another 6 months. Your feedback is highly appreciated. Link to comment
kalyan_ac Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 Yes, make sure you dont have any contracts with either of them so that they dont come back to you to pay for the H1 fees,legal fees etc. Link to comment
Scandata Posted May 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 Thank you very much Immigration seeker. So this is what happened - i. Company A filed for my H1b extension on a regular mode. ii. A week later company B filed for my H1b transfer + Extension in a premium mode. iii. I got my H1b transferred through company B within a week and also got an extension of 10 months which is till 01-Aug-13. Your timely advise was really helpful in taking a good decision, Thanks!
