pontevecchio Posted July 16, 2013 Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 Has your H1 I94 expired? Link to comment
YoungMember Posted July 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 Second question - Please help me here. Is it fine to put the papers in existing company, once my new employer file the H1B transfer ? As they are processing in normal and receipt # will take around a week by mail. And the new employer is saying am good to join, once they file the transfer (with the courier package #). (Info - my new employer is a small staffing company and through them am going to work in a US based client) Link to comment

YoungMember Posted November 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2013 Hi, My original H1b transfer was filed in Aug 2013 but seeing the delay I asked my employer to process it in premium (they did almost 6 working days back) and have received the acceptance of it, the next day. But on uscis.gov website, NO status is shown as of today. Any idea, uscis is shut down currently ? please help. Thank you !! Link to comment

So you have to wait. Link to comment
YoungMember Posted November 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 thanks for your quick reply. My employer received the RFE on my visa (under premium). He may take some time in responding back to uscis (may be a week or two). Will this be still considered under premium by uscis ? OR will they refund the money ? Link to comment

You will get the response in 15days after answering your RFE. Why are you worried about the money?? Link to comment

I am not worried about money, was trying to understand, how it works. So, once RFE is answered by my employer, then USCIS will take next 15 days to get the response, right ? Link to comment

YoungMember Posted January 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 Thanks much. H1B got cleared. Big Question - I got a full time opportunity so I put my papers with my employer (small contracting firm). As written in my offer letter, Under "damages for breach of term provision" (...which states company shall be entitled to any and all damages allowed under law aganist employee.... -- leaving before 12 months, I completed 6 months with them) So,they asking me a huge amount of money. Taking money from an employee, is legal in USA ? please help Link to comment
t75 Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 You signed a requirement. Depending on the specifics, you may be liable for damages for leaving. You should have seen an attorney before you joined; you absolutely must do so now. Link to comment

YoungMember Posted January 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 Thanks, I agree. But offer letter/contract says, "damage" it can be $0 or $100, etc....no specific amount. In this case, how the employer can ask a huge amount. I am shocked. is this thing legal ? Okay. in case I pay the amount, is he liable to accept it legally and will provide me with any receipt ? not sure, how it works legally, please help. Link to comment
