I would like to know the immigration law related to H1B transfer. Assume a person works for company (X) with I129 valid from May 2003 to April 2005.
Another company (Y) applies for H1b transfer say which is approved from Dec 2003 to April 2005.
When the transfer is approved and the new I 94 is given along with it, what happens to the original petition and I 94.
As soon as this new petition gets approved, should be person stop working for company (X) and should start working for company (Y). What if the person decides not to join company (Y) and just keeps working for company (X).
Another situation what happens when the person started working for company (Y) for 6 months and then decides to move back to company (X). Can he just join company (X) and start working based on the new approval.
In simple terms, when an H1b transfer is done, does the old petition and the corresponding I 94 automatically becomes void or the employer should explicitly request the same.
