[setupH1]

Hi,

 

My H1B was approved till 3 years and now I want to transfer this H1B to new company , regarding this I have one question

 

1. Does USCIS will evaluate my educational credentials like which university I did my education?

2. If at all they have objection on my university will they revoke my approved visa?

 

Please let me know answer as this may help in changing job for me.

 

Thanks in advance.

If you received in MS quota based on degree from fraudulent university,  it can be revoked.

1. Yes. You need to provide USCIS with your education evaluation done by specific agencies when submitting H1B petition.

2. Probably.

 

What is the exact situation with your education that makes you to ask these specific questions?

Was your H1 filed in the Masters quota? Is your MS from a for-profit institution?

If you answer yes to both of these questions, an extension or H1 transfer will get denied, and your H1 will get revoked.

Yes, i did my MS from profit-institution & applied in Master's Quota.

Now i have full time position offer with Company B. So, Can i go for that position or just leave that opportunity ?

Forget about it. Even if you apply for an extension with existing employer it would be denied as your petition was approved in error. It would be wise to leave US and apply in April 2015 in regular quota.

As I said, an extension or H1 transfer will get denied, and your H1 will get revoked.

Is it not possible to apply H1B in regular quota with new employer in the upcoming year while staying in USA ?

[JoeF]

No, that's not possible.

You need to be outside US for 365 days before a new cap subject H1B petition could be filed. In you case your employer  could file only in April 2015.
