L1 to H1 Amendment and COS

[seshuchamarthi]

Hi,

My situtation is very strange. I am in US on L1B from emploer A. I got a new project from Employer B and applied for COS to H1 on premium processing.

On the 14th day i found on USCIS website that my COS has been approved and status was in post activity. I started working for emploer B on the start data mentioned in the COS.

After 10 days there was a shocking news from my immigration lawer that my COS got RFE and need to be responded. Meanwhile i got my I-9 (emplotment authorization filed etc ...).

I would like to know if i am allowed to work on H1-B for employer B while COS is in RFE. Does this hold legal status for me?

Please clarify ASAP.

I would really appriciate any help.

Note: RFE was asking for document (pay stubs & w2 & ta returns) which were already submitted earlier.

Thanks, Seshu

I got the RFE for the same situation (L1 to H1B COS) - seeking the paystubs for earlier months.

That was submitted with the petition. Dont know why again?

Not yet.

Have sent the response on 30th. USCIS updated their site on July 5th (RFE Review).

Sam/Seshu,

Please update how did you handle this situation?

Thanks

I have sent the paystubs USCIS is looking (for the date of petition and one month prior to it) -to prove that the beneficiary is not out of status.

Seshu,

Are you still working for Employer B? Is it legal to work even though you have RFE?

Please share

Thanks
