[AnuRob]

Hi

 

I have H1 petition approved but dont have client and I am currently in India an want to come back to US but finding difficult to get client from here. 

If I came to US on B1-B2 VISA, what will happen to my approved petition?

Will this petition will get revoked or it will still valid?

 

Thanks

Your approved petition is still valid. I hope you are not entering on B1/B2 visa to do anything other than touristic visit.

B2 is for tourism, not to find jobs.

You better find real employer for your H1 job.

Finding a client would be the responsibility of the H1 employer.

You can't use a B2 to find a client. It would be work, and on B2 you are not allowed to work.

Thanks for your reply. 

It mean I can enter on B1B2(If it gets approve) and I can search for job after reaching USA as my petition is approve. So can I get transfer from B1B2 to H1? or what will be my status in thus case?

 

Thanks

In 2009 I came to US from France on a B1/B2 visa with interviews (postdoctoral scientist job) lined with prospective employers. At POE I clearly told immigration officer the purpose of my visit. I was given entry with B1 with a 6 month valid I94. After attending interviews I left US and came back with appropriate J1 visa to work.

 

Even though it is possible to change from B1/B2 to H1B I would suggest you to leave country and enter US with a H1B visa.

B2 is for tourism not for job search.

If your H1 is approved that means you have a job, and if you employer didn't assigned you any project then you will be on bench but assigning a project is your employer's responsibility not YOUR'S.
