Hi,
I have a query regarding my current status in US and my options now.
I got H1-B approval in October 2007 and started working for Employer A.
In February 2009, employer A laid me off and sent a request to USCIS to terminate my H1-B.
Meanwhile Employer B applied for H1-B transfer.
Due to some reason employer A has not received any acknowledgement of H1-B termination. I can still see the status as approved.
On May 26th, my H1-B transfer to employer B was denied. The reason for the denial was that they could not find enough evidence that I am working for the client.
Now I am planning to change my status to H-4.
Am I out of status right now?
Can I directly file for change of status? Can I take chance for change of status on the fact that employer A has not received acknowledgement for the termination?
Or do I have to go out of the country and apply for H-4 visa? Do I need to go to my home country or I can go any where out of the country?
I would really appreciate your help!!
