Dear Fellow Nedians:
Assalam Aleikum,
Hope that ya all in good health :)
My question is about H1B. A person has H1B approval notice and also visa sticker on his/her passport. The H1B visa stamp is good until July 2004. Now due to the current
US job crisis, the person lost his/her job, and change the status to F1 and joins the
college in US ans start taking classes, after receiving the change of status (H1B to F1)
approval notice. In the 2nd semester while taking classes at the college, the person
luckily finds another job in US and the client is willing to sponsor the applicant for an
H1B again (the person can not do an H1 company transfer, because he/she changed
the status to F1, and H1 company to company transfer can only be done, if the last status
before transfering is also an H1 status). Let say the person received approval notice of H1
from the 2nd job.
- Can the person travel, as the last H1 sticker on his/her passport is still valid until July 2004? and he has the H1B approval with him from company B.
- Since the last visa sticker is from Company A, can the person (without leaving US) do a revalidation? (So that he gets the visa stamp from Company B on the passport)
- How much is the H1B processing time, if filled by Premium Processing method, and also if filled by the Normal processing method.
- Does some one has to have an H1B to apply for a green card in US? Are there other options available? I heard some one in Texas was on his OPT, and he applied for green card, without even getting H1B, and he got his green card in just 9 months.
Some other general questions, if some one can answer?
- Regarding the applicants who have Canadian Immigration, but are still in US, and have missed their PR/Maple Leaf card dates, and since they can not leave US, as at the time of return they will need a visa stamp, what is option for them to apply and easily get their Canadian PR card? The primary reason for staying in US is the job market, which is little better, then in Canada.
- If a person is US Citizen, and his family finds a good match for him in Pakistan, and the girl is Pakistani citizen. What options are now available for the person, who is US citizen, to bring the girl in US, as fionce, and as wife?
Thanks ya all for making our Ned community united together!
