Still no advice. Please help.  

Hello, Part A ------ I came to US on tourist Visa - got a job - received H1B approval notice - and have been working with Company A for the past 20 months. But I never had a chance to go to India for H1B Visa Stamping. Now I have another job offer from Company B - and I am wondering that if...

Thanks Jaxen I guess I will have to wait for some more time before deciding to go to India - For now it seems very risky - I will try to find a new job with atleast 60K salary - and then try to go to India after getting h1b transfer. Thanks for the information.

Thanks Jaxen and Debasis Here is further information - - The salary mentioned in LCA is 60K but now my salary is reduced to 45K - will this require a new LCA - or just a letter from the employer will do? - I got here on tourist visa on september 10 2000 and the receipt date on INS H1B...

Jaxen Please Reply  

Thanks, but the scenario is more complicated then it seems 1. You see uptil now I never had H1b Visa stamping done on my passport - In Canada they refused me because they told me that for first time H1b stamping I have to go to India. I have a letter from Canadian Embassy stating the reason for...

Hoping to get you reply Jaxen  

Here is the situation that I am in -  - I came here on tourist visa on Sep 2000 - got a job over here - got INS approval notice with new I-94 on Jan 2001.  - I went to Canada for h1b stamping in March 2001 - got refused - they told me that I need to get it done from India.  -...

Jaxen is perfectly right I too was in the similar situation (tourist to h1b status) and did a mistake of going to Canada - I got denied - now I am stuck here in USA - too worried to go to India - you do not want to end her in the similar situation as I am.

I will suggest not to go over to Canada If you are getting h1b visa stamp for the first time then my suggestion to you is the best possible way to get h1b visa stamping is to get it done from India. I did the same mistake and went to Canada and since then I have been regretting my decision. In...

Thanks a lot I really appreciate your response. I am right now keeping my fingers crossed - trying to look for another job as well as trying to get into some college - so as to somehow atleast remain in status. I know for fact that by the end of March I am going to know my fate. Once the...

I have another big issue - Here is the whole situation - I came here on tourist visa back in september 2000 - found a job - got H1b approval notice and new I-94 from INS in January 2001. Now the company\'s lawyer suggested me to go to Canada for visa stamping (my case was his first h1b case...

Recently was able to get admission in a college and was able to get I-20 - Currently I am on Leave of Absence. Now my question is what are my options - 1) Should I apply for the student visa immediately - That would mean changing my status from H1b to F1. 2) Can I wait for another 30...

Thanks for the response - but there is more.. I have got the I-20 from the college - and as per it I should join the college before 05/28/2002. But there is one more fact - that I am already doing certain courses from this college as a Continuing Education Student. These courses are going to...

Regarding Paychecks Thanks for the response. I am right on Leave of Absence for 45 days and my employer has promised me to give me a paycheck after the end of 45 days. So if I decide to join another Company by that time - then will one paycheck be enough - or in other words how many...

Hello, My Company is having some funds problem - they want to keep me - but they do not have sufficient funds to pay me off right now - they have given me two choices - either to lay me off or to go on leave of absence for couple of months - what should i do - Right now it is difficult to...

Thanks for the response Jim I still have one more question - what if after 2 months of leave of absence the company\'s situation improves and it starts paying normal salary - so will that 2 months gap effect my case - if later on I decide to join new company and go for H1b transfer - I know...

Thanks Jim for the help
