H1B Extension - Suggetions Please

[hummer_boy]

1. One of my friends first H1B visa term is over by 30-Sep-2003.
2. He applied for transfer through new company in Feb2003.
3. But he got the H1B as a new visa which says he needs to goto India for stamping.
4. Is there any way he can file I-129 again choosing the option
part 2-Column2-Selection C which is Change in previously approved employment.
5. By doing this will he be able to get the already approved new H1B corrected and get the I-94 so that he need not go to India for Stamping?

Please let me know if I am not clear or need some more information.

---- Do you mean he completed 6 years? Or has time but filed transfer with new company
2. He applied for transfer through new company in Feb2003.
3. But he got the H1B as a new visa which says he needs to goto India for stamping.

----- he should go out of US, get new H1visa stamped and reenter US with new I-94
4. Is there any way he can file I-129 again choosing the option
part 2-Column2-Selection C which is Change in previously approved employment.

----- Did you mean the lawyer not filed as extension? If lawyer filed extension in same status and BCIS did not provide him new extended I-94 then he may have issues or lawyer filed for NEW H1 then he has to go out and get H1 visa. I don’t think you can do anything now. Talk to your lawyer if you file again for transfer you may not be having recent pay stubs from past company
5. By doing this will he be able to get the already approved new H1B corrected and get the I-94 so that he need not go to India for Stamping?
---- talk to your lawyer as I don’t know the reason if he filed for new h1 or h1to h1 extension or messed up during filing or your friend
