I-485 denied, need advice

[sks123]

Hi,

here are details in chronology of events:

Dec 2005 -->came to US on H1B with Company P.

Nov 2006--> H1b transfer to company A initaited, started working for company A.

Feb 2007 -->H1B with company A denied.

Mar 2007 --> company A filed MTR (Motion to reconsider H1B denial).

Jun 2007 --> company B filed for new H1B.

Jul 2007--> got H1B with company B but still working with Company A.

16 Aug 2007--> company A field GC: I-140 and I-485 concurrently (also applied for Advance parole and EAD).

24 Aug 2007--> left US.

sep 2007--> came back to US on H1b with company B and started working with company B.

Now USCIS said that when I departed the US on 24 Aug 2007, neither I had approved visa nor Advance parole so I abandoned my I-485 when I left the country.

I don't completely understand their reason for denial as I had approval for H1B with company B (of course visa wasn't stamped on my passport as I was still in the US..and this was the reason I went to India..)

I will greatly appreciate your inputs to help me understand this.

Thanks,

SK

You will need an MTR stating just that - you had your H1 approval when you departed.

By the way, this is a totally stupid and inappropriate denial. You should think of complaining about it.
