Issues with H1 Status
Here is my Scenario
I Came to USA on 04th July 2000 on H1B Visa.
I have been with the same Company from the past 6.5 Years.
Here are my Case details and questions.
1. The Employer filed for my Labor on Jan 09th 2004 in EB3/RIR
2. The same Company Applied for My 7th Year H1B Extension on 02/01/2005 on the basis on Pending labor with Backlog Center .
I Got my H1B Extension for 3 Years since employer requested 3 years instead of 1 year,
on the basis of Pending Labor at Backlog Center . We Never corrected this.
On Feb 5, 2007my Labor Case status has been updated to DENIED on the
http://pds.pbls.doleta.gov/ website.
3. Also, my Employer filed for another Labor in PERM (EB3) in August 2006 which got approved and
I Have a I-140 in Nov 2006 with the Texas USCIS Center which Got Approved on Feb 13 2007.
4. Is My H1B still Valid for 3 Years, eventhough this was Exended on the basis of Labor Pending at Backlog Center
which is currently DENIED.
Do i need to Request any Corrections/Amendment to maintain my H1B Status??
5. Is it safe to request for a new 3 Year H1B Extension or Amendment based on my I-140 Approval?
6. Can i apply for a new Labor with Same Employer but for a different
Position in EB2, i have B.S. + 8.5 Years of Experience
(2 Years in India and 6.5 Years in US)
Please let me know.
