Old H1B Case reopened after H1B transfer

Wanted to know if there is someone who has gone through a similar procedure to answer my concerns:


Facts : Got my first H1B in 2007, from a desi consultancy company (Company A). After having worked with them for about 10 months, I switched to a Full time job with company B.

Company A had informed me that they were going to revoke my H1B in June 08, but in the meantime Company B filed for my H1B transfer in June 08 and the transfer got approved on Sept 15th 2008.


But after about 10 days(Sept 27, 2008), my first H1B's case with Company A got reopened which had already been approved nearly 10 months back. I received the following status update (on the USCIS web-site) on my old WAC # with company A:


Application Type: I129, PETITION FOR A NONIMMIGRANT WORKER

Current Status: Case reopened or reconsidered based on USCIS determination, and the case is now pending.


My questions are:


1) What does this mean if my earlier case has been reopened? What could be the most probable reasons for this? It had already been approved nearly a year back.

2) Will it affect my new H1B with company B? (it has already been approved)

3) Is this case reopening/reconsidering a normal procedure, when someone's H1B is revoked/canceled by a previous employer?

4) I'm going for my H1B visa stamping with my new I797 to India in 1 month. Would this previous case reopening create a problem for me?


Kinda apprehensive and worried on this, so if there is anyone who can throw some light on this issue, I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks
 
I got the same notice

AlwaysKushi:

I got the same notice from USCIS two days back regarding my H1 with my previous employer. I am on GC right now though.

Can you please let me know what happened at your end regarding the notice you received?

Thank You
 
Didnt matter much

Hi,

Well its been 3 -4 months since I received that notice of my old H1B case being opened. In that they had informed that within 30 days they would let me know what the status of my case was. But it's been more than 30 days now, and there has been no notice or no change i can see online on my earlier H1B case.

FYI- I also went to India last month and got my H1B stamped with my new I-797. This old H1B case opening, didnt make much of difference to me yet.

Gud luc!
 
Any more updates

Hi alwayskhushi,chicagolady,
I wanted to find from you if there has been any change in your status of I129 even after 8 months.

I have a similar status showing up for my old I129 and am curious to know how it went for you.

Thanks
 
Hi al_im_81,
There has been no change in the status since so many months. I've lost interest and am not bothered about it anymore :)
