H1b issues.Please help

[bluesman]

Hello,

The following is my situation. I finished my masters in fall 2005. but my company sponsored a H1B starting october 2005 based on my undergraduate qualifications.

I have been training the last three months (no pay stubs) and I will be joining a project probably at the end of january??.

I am planning to go for visa stamping only after i get a minimum of 4 or 5 salary stubs!. my questions are the following.

1.Is there a chance my visa could be denied based on the three months I was on training (bench).?

2. will there be a problem in the future if i am planning to bring in my sister for a trip (tourist visa for summer holidays) to the US? i mean will her visa be rejected based on the history that i havent recieved salary stubs the first three-four months.?

does a letter from the company stating that I was on long leave for the period from october-january suffice?? if you have any other solutions pleae let me know..

Thanks

First clarify on what status you were working during training period? Is/Was your F1 visa valid? What are the dates on your H1-B approval(to-from)?

well my OPT began in summer 2005 and i only had my comps left. thats reason why i could graduate only in fall 2005. so until september 30 i was on OPT. i got my H1 approved by the end of august (starting date october 1).

well my opt was valid frm june 2005 - june 2006

my H1 is now valid from oct 1- 2006 to sep 30 2009

does this info suffice??
