I came to the US in Feb. 2006 with H-1 visa stamping on my passport for company A. I was on the bench period from the beginning and didn't get paid during those 4 months until I found a new job. In Jun. 2006 I applied for H-1 visa for company B in and took advantage of portability act and started working for the company B right away as soon as I received my application receipt. I was ever since waiting for the approval and today, I got the denial after such a long wait. Fortunately, I have another job offer in hand with company C that is ready to transfer/file for my H-1 visa. However, I have following questions:
(1) My ultimate interest right now is to work for company C. What are my chances to get everything straighten out and start working for company C as soon as possible on H-1 visa?
(2) My H-1 visa for company A might have been revoked already and now that my H-1 visa is denied for company B, how can I transfer my H-1 to company C?
(3) Let's say if there is no such thing as "transfer" of H-1 visa, can I apply for H-1 visa afresh for company C in premium processing and not be subjected to quota and waiting until April 2007?
(4) Am I illegal in the country already as of now? If yes, when must I leave the country?
(5) Finally, what's the best action that I could take now?
I know I sound begging, but I am begging anyway that if you could provide me any hints, would be greatly helpful.
Thanks,
Sil
