Hello All,
I am currently working for a company under H1b approved in April for a Position A. Recently a much better
position B opened up within the same company. Both the positions are significantly different in Job description.
1. Does this require that I file a new petition to INS along with a new approved LCA?
2. If answer to question 1 is "yes" then in form I - 129, I have three options in Part 2 (Basis for classification).
Should I check New petition or Change in the previously approved employment?
3. Aslo If I file the a new H1 petition with the same company for the Position B, can I start working in position B as
soon as I filed under AC21 or should I wait until I get an approved petition.
4. In a worst case scenario if my new petition is rejected can I still be working in my old position A?
5. In form I -129, which of the following "Requested actions" should I check when I am applying for a new position
within the same comapny. ** Also as a background I moved from F1 to H1 earlier and I donot have a H1
stamp.***
a) Notify the office in Part 4 so the person(s) can obtain a visa or be admitted
--or --
b)Change the person(s) status and extend their stay since they are all now in the U.S.
in another status (see instructions for limitations).
--or --
c)Extend or amend the stay of ther person(s) since they now hold this status.
Any kind of help is appreciated.
Thanks.
