New H1 while old H1 is still pending

[nefan]

Hello,

I had received a 221g on my old H1 in Ottawa, Canada. So i came back to India and changed the employer(Preferred Vendor) and applied for a new h1.

My new H1 was approved last week. I had spoken to my old employer and asked him to revoke the old H1 and he confirmed he did that. But when i check the status in the USCIS website its still showing pending decision.

Will this cause any issue for my new H1 visa interview? I am wondering if the USCIS will end my old case due to inactivity or not receiving a response from my old employer. By the way, Its been about 10 months since I got my 221G on the old H1.

Please advice.

Thanks in Advance.

It takes some time to get updated.

H1b revocation is paper based process. It takes 2-3 months to be updated on USCIS status.

If your employer fails to respond, USCIS will automatically revoke the case, which means there is a ViSA denial on your record
