Dear All,

Need your suggestion regarding H1B. I was selected last year H1B Lottery through one of the consulting company and got i am done Consulate interview last year October 7th and given RFQ submission for additional documents which submitted October 20th. After two months received a letter Consulate from Mumbai ( India) my application send back to USCIS for further verification or possible provocation of my application. Myself / consulting company waiting last 4 months for any query from USCIS and still no contact from them. As well i have emailed customer care, got reply saying under administrative processing. CEAC showing up to status as “REFUSAL” only.

So this year Lottery through my working company ( India IT giant) got, and Immigration team asking to submit documents so that they can file the case through attorney. I am delaying due to Existing Visa under process ( last year).

Please suggest and enlighten how to proceed, as i am being told from friends i have to cancel existing Visa application ( Last year H1B) has to be cancelled before applying H1B to USCIS.

Looking for your help in this matter asap.

Firstly, it is important to note that your current H1B application from last year is still under administrative processing, and there is no way to predict how long it will take for USCIS to make a decision on your case. It is also important to note that the fact that your application was returned to USCIS for further verification or possible revocation does not necessarily mean that your application will be denied. Regarding your new H1B application, it is generally advisable to withdraw any pending visa applications that are related to the same employer and visa category before submitting a new application. However, it is important to consult with an experienced immigration attorney who can provide guidance on the specific circumstances of your case. In summary, it is important to seek legal advice from an experienced immigration attorney to determine the best course of action for your situation. Your attorney can review your case and advise you on whether you should proceed with your new H1B application or withdraw your previous application, as well as provide guidance on any additional steps you may need to take.
