H1b Transfer after Revoking of Visa

Recommended Posts

Hi ,

a) Currently I am working in India. A sponser company from US has filed my H1b Visa in 2012.

b) I got my Visa approved and got it stamp from Delhi Consulate.

c) Now, I am not able to travel US right now.

d) Sponser is saying that they are revoking/retracting the Visa.

Please suggest :

1) Does this mean after revoking, I will be having no Visa and in future if I need to go US for work then I have to go through the whole process (filing, lottery, approval, visa, etc.) again.

2) Or will it go under Cap exemption whenever I find a new sponser who is ready to transfer my visa.

No you won't need the entire process.......

1. You have a Visa Stamp on your Passport, which will remain valid till its expiry date.

2. You are Cap exempt for a duration of 6 yrs of Stay in US in H1B Status.( If you never enter the US, you will always remain Cap exempt.)

3. All you need to do is....

a. Find a new employer.

b. Make him file an new I-129 (H1B Petition) with USCIS.

c. Get the approval !-797.

d. Book your ticket, and fly to the US.

You don't need to attend the visa interview again.

get2ps.29, You are lucky that you got the visa stamping. These days, H1b visa approval is easy, but visa stamping is tough. Now, you dont have any tension of stamping till the expiry date of the visa. You can get new employer, let them file your cap exempt H1b, and you are all set to fly to USA. Enjoy !!
