Hi,
I got my H1-B filed in 2010 and received a RFE in Sep 2010. Then the final decision was a denial in Jan'2011.
My consultant told me that he can reappeal the denial decision and chances of getting the visa is higher. I wasn't very sure and hence I didn't go forward with the idea. Last week I got an offer to work by a company and they want me to start work rightaway.
The constraint being I am on H-4 and hold a B1. I am currently on H4 and the company told me that they can't ask me to start working on B1. So I was thinking with the client invite letter can I re-appeal the H1-B that got rejected. Please answer the following questions.
[*]Is this option of reapplying feasible?
[*]Since the earlier H1B was applied for a different position, will the new client invite letter from a different employer create some issue?
[*]If the visa is cleared can I start working before Oct as the visa I am re-appealing is from 2010 quota?
[*] Any other issues that I am not able to foresee if the option is feasible?
[/LIST]
