Hi Friends,
I am going to apply for my 2nd term H1 extension which will be expired on 12/25/2004. I laid off back in 06/19/2001 and applied to change my status to F1 in 09/01/01. I got the receipt notice in 09/28/01 and in 12/18/01 got another notice requesting latest pay check while I was in H1. But in the meantime I got another job and they filed my H1 transfer in 01/08/02 requesting the transfer from 12/22/01 to 12/31/04. INS approved the H1 request from 12/26/01 to 12/25/04. Now in the extension for another 3 years they want to submit the extension from 12/25/04 to 06/18/07, meaning 2 and 1/2 years instead of 3 and saying they need to write an explanation of my status so that my ongoing GC process with them will not be in danger.
IS THAT SOMETHING SOUNDS BELIEVABLE? DO THEY REALLY NEED TO MENTION THAT? I THINK THIS HAS ALREADY BEEN RESOLVED WHEN INS APPROVED THE H1 TRANSFER? WHAT DO YOU THINK?
DID I LOOSE MY STATUS IN ANY WAY PREVIOUSLY AND THIS FACT WILL HAVE ANY IMPACT IN MY GC PROCESS?
WHAT SHOULD I DO NOW? PLEASE HELP!!!
Regards, Venkat.
