Hi,
My friend is working in US for over 2 years on H1 visa. He is planning to join another firm.
The new firm has filed his H1 transfer papers twice with Texas Service Center, under premium processing.
Both the time, they have been returned back by the texas center, with the note that New h1 petition (premium) are currently not being accepted. Even though this is a H1 transfer, we don't know why, it is being considered as a request for new H1.
Please guide what to do.
1) Is there something wrong with the paperwork.
2) The new company wants him to join ASAP without waiting for h1 transfer to be over. What should he do.
Rgds,
