Hello everybody,

I was working in the US the last year on my F-1/OPT and prior to expiration on June 30th, moved back to my home country. As the employer was interested in retaining me, he had filed for my H-1B for FY05-06, and subsequently received my approved I-129 from my lawyer in the US. However due to changing work circumstances, I wish not to resume my work, and hence not file for my H-1B. Given the circumstances I wanted to know if:

a) Does not filing for the H-1B at this stage harm my chances of future entry to the US on any visa (H-1B or otherwise) ?

b) Does the firm have the right to demand a refund for the processing fees they had to submit a long with the original I-129 filing?

Any help will be greatly appreciated. I'm really confused =(

Many thanks!

You not only confused and confusing others.

OK

1. You are not in US.
2. Some Tom tick and Harry applied your H1
3. They Got approval and send the H1 papers
4. Now you are in your home country and having fun and do not want to go and work for the H1 sponser company.
5. Tear off H1 papers, go to bed never get up.
6. Nothing going to happen in the future job.
--------------------------------------------------
7. Again catch hold of another employer
8. Ask them to apply , another H1
9. They will send papers after H1 approval
10. Still you want to continue your fun in home country or getting married.
11. This time tear of H1 papers with help of spouse once again. (Practice)
12. Nothing going to happen in the future job.

Irresponsible Tirade

Great_guru,

I would suggest you factor in some respect in your replies. Perhaps if you would be sensitive to the fact that my mother died of cancer very recently (hence, the changing circumstance), you would have responded with a bit more care rather than your earlier sarcasm.

Hope this makes you feel better,
Irene.

----------No problem
b) Does the firm have the right to demand a refund for the processing fees they had to submit a long with the original I-129 filing?
----------NO, the employer cantask for the H1 filing fees from you.
