Discuss vass123's H-1B USCIS Case

HI @vadas123,

What is the status of your current h1b? IS it valid or under extension ?

@vyclma26, I got laid off on 8/24, now on grace period

On the same boat, got laid off last month and waiting on the RFE details.

Did you move from FT to FT? or EVC to FT?

@rak12345 , FT to FT

@vadas123 - Did you get 2 different RFE's? i saw another post from you with different RFE details, i am trying to understand if we will accrue unlawful presence if the RFE gets denied after the grace period.

My RFE has all sorts of things, org structure, employer-employee relationship (although it is a non consulting firm), workload for the period in H1b etc, this is supposed to be a simple transfer, but i guess nothing is simple with the current uscis!

I got two offers and both the companies applied for H1B, one is EC model and the other FTE, I got maintenance of status for EC model and surprisingly employee-employer relationship, specialty occupation for full time position.

Did you already join? your grace period ends soon I would imagine? which model did you happen to join, and also have you done any research on what happens if the visa gets denied after the grace period?

@rak12345, I joined in FTE last week, attorney is confident that this case will be approved, worst case, they are going to let me work as contractor ( provided the H1B with Desi Employer gets approved),if not, they are going to file another h1b with same LCA in regular processing.

@rak12345, did you join yet??

I joined FT with receipt notice, that is why i am wondering what would happen in the off case that the H1B gets denied, we will have passed the grace period and do not know how the transfer would work at that point.

Our attorney is going to reply for RFE by the end of this week, hopefully I will know result by 24th of this month.

@vass123 -congrats! Can you please share more details about the RFE and documents submitted to [email protected]

Thanks!

@divyapp, attorney and my manager took care of documents.

Ok.Thanks!
