    A Unique Case of F1-H1

    Kovai, the visa officer didn't even look at my current employer's paystubs let alone past employers. To start with, previous employers' paystubs is not even a requirement (at least in Mexico). If the rest of your documentation is fine, and if your interaction with the officer goes fine, you...

    I'm in a similar situation. Came here on F-1 and haven't left the country since. Changed status to H1 and then changed employers. Now, my previous i-797 was lost by the attorney and now I am wondering how I could show that I have been on status. Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated...
