Hi,I got my H1 approved in december 2000 and the same month came to Us on H4 with my husband who is also on H1 here.Now my h1 was filed when i was in india hence my case doesn\'t validate for an H4 to H1 transfer but as a new H1.My company is refusing to give me my papers or to let me go to india to get my visa stamped as h1,hence i am still on h4 legally.Is there a limit on the time the H1 approval stands valid without it beinbg stamped.and is there a way i can get my h1 papers directly from the INS,coz the company is not giving me my papers till they find a project and as per the market the chances are bleak..please help..
