newuser21 Posted July 12, 2015 Report Posted July 12, 2015 Hi, I have a new 3 yr H1b approval. 1. My last h1b visa stamp issued in 2012, expired on 2nd Sep 2014 (it is less than 12 months from expiration). 2. I have a new passport, new passport number; old passport is expiring next month. 3. My employer is the same, but petition name is changed on H1b for different business unit. Does it matter? I am uncertain about point 2 and 3. Am I clear for IWP? What else I shall be careful of to get stamped successfully? Thank you
skanthsri Posted July 13, 2015 Report Posted July 13, 2015 You are eligible for IWP. Hi is someone eligible if they change the employer?
jairichi Posted July 13, 2015 Report Posted July 13, 2015 Hi is someone eligible if they change the employer? Yes. Recently there has been a change made to this eligibility. Change in employer is also eligible for IWP.
shekar11# Posted July 13, 2015 Report Posted July 13, 2015 No you are not eligible if you change employer.
jairichi Posted July 14, 2015 Report Posted July 14, 2015 No you are not eligible if you change employer. That is no longer the criteria. http://www.ustraveldocs.com/in/in-niv-visarenew.asp
newuser21 Posted July 14, 2015 Author Report Posted July 14, 2015 Both replies are totally conflicting. Which one is true?
jairichi Posted July 14, 2015 Report Posted July 14, 2015 Both replies are totally conflicting. Which one is true? Shekar11# would have been correct few months back. There is a change in eligibility criteria now. Check the link.
newuser21 Posted July 14, 2015 Author Report Posted July 14, 2015 That is no longer the criteria. http://www.ustraveldocs.com/in/in-niv-visarenew.asp I read that. Do they specifically mention anywhere in news/updates/notifications that petitioner condition is removed? Or has anyone gotten successfully done? http://www.ustraveldocs.com/in/in-niv-visarenew.asp If I am applying for an H or L (individual) visa, my prior visa in the same class is still valid or expired within the last 12 months.Vs Earlier for long time, and even now the other consulate site says - http://mumbai.usconsulate.gov/iwp2.html Temporary workers on H1-B visas returning to work for the same petitioner where the visa is still valid or has expired within the last 12 months
