H1-H4-H1 pay stub issue

[bat_bat]

Hi,

I got my H1 approved in 2007. I didn't work for almost 1.5 yrs and then finally got a project. However I worked for only 1 month and had to leave my job for personal reasons. I immediately filed for COS and had my H4 approved. Therefore I have only 1 pay stub for the month I worked.

Now I have a potential employer who is ready to file a H1 for me.

My question is:

1) Will this be a case of H1 transfer?

2) Will my earlier history be checked?

3) If yes, then wll I have to submit pay stubs/w2 while transfering the H1?

All help/advice is appreciated.

Thanks.

1) Will this be a case of H1 transfer?

No this would not be a H1 transfer and you will need to make a fresh H1B application. You don't need to be counted against the quota again.

2) Will my earlier history be checked?

I believe so.

3) If yes, then wll I have to submit pay stubs/w2 while transfering the H1?

You won't need prior pay stubs since this would be a transfer from H4 visa.
