vills41 Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 Hi, My original H1b was approved on 07/05/2011. I came to the US on H1b on 10/09/2011. The original H1b approval period was till 03/15/2012. My I94 expired on 03/15/2012. My employer 1 filed two extensions to my H1, to two different processing centers at the same time without my knowledge, one normal processing with Vermont service center on 03/15/2012 and the other using Premium Processing with California service center on 03/15/2012. The one that was filed with California was denied on 07/09/2012 and my employer 1 has filed MTR for the denial. While this is in process, the approvals are pending, I decided to change employer and on 07/27/2012 new employer 2 applied for H1 transfer / extension with Vermont service center and new employer 2 has changed that to premium process on 10/23/2012. This case is still in acceptance state. Meanwhile my old case filed by my old employer 1 got denied on 02/05/2013. I’m very much worried about my current status in USA. Am I eligible to work on the extension receipt number, if so then for how long can I work? What are my options? Please suggest me what is the best option you think to make my status legal.

pontevecchio Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 The best and only option is to get a good lawyer involved. It would be an extreme act of faith to even think that people in the forum can sort out what is a very complicated situation and needs a licensed Lawyer to sort out. Link to comment
kalyan_ac Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 You are in trouble here. Seek an attorneys help. If your h1b from employer 2 is approved, you will have to prove your status between expiry of h1 at employer 1 to approval for h1b with employer 2. If your h1b with employer 2 is deniedyou are out of status since 03/15/12. Link to comment
vills41 Posted March 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 I got approval for the MTR that was filed with California and which was denied on 07/09/2012. So what is my current status now and is my status legal now?? Kindly suggest me what are the best options for me as I'm not with my old employer any more.Thanks for your suggestions. Link to comment
kalyan_ac Posted March 28, 2013 Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 If the petition filed by employer 1 has been approved,you are good. I wonder why premium filed petitions are pending for so long. Link to comment
