Hi Friends,

Here is a Story:
1) My First H1 and (My wife H4) the I94's Expired on 30-Sep-08
2) Same Employer Applied for H1 Extension on Notice Date: June 17th 2008
3) RFE received on 10/05 with Employer and My Information (List of all the H1's with Receipts Numbers and W2's, Key Persons in Company, SubContract Or Project Information, Client Letter and My Recent Paystubs and My W2's and My Bank Statements)
4) Lawyer rpelied the RFE and Received by USCIS on Nov18th 2008
5) After 60 Days, Opened an SR with USCIS on 01/23/09
6) Received an Email of Denial Notice on 01/29/09
7) Reason for Denial is not Known

FYI:
1) Filed I-140 EB3 India on May 7th 2007 and RFE on Master Completion Date and Responded to RFE with New Credential Evaluation. FINALLY APPROVED I-140 on Jan 12th 2009. I didn't filed 485/EAD/AP.

Questions:
1) If I open MTR, are we (Me and My Wife) in Status?

2) How much time normally takes to accept MTR

3) How long we (Me and My Wife) can stay in USA?

4) Can I make a transfer and do a premium processing with More than 2 Companies After or Before MTR Opens?

5) Can I continue the current project After I apply MTR?

6) Can I start working with Company B While H1 Transfer is pending?

7) Do I have to wait until its Transfer gets approved Or MTR Approved?

8) What are the chances of approvals in Premium processing in Current Market

9) Can company B apply for H4 Extension Along with H1 Transfer?

I appreciate if you can let us know about other possibilities now.

Please respond at the earliest

Thanks
Ravi
 
immediately file an MTR. that should allow you to legally stay and work as well. by then your pd should be current to submit 485's. I heard MTR on H1b take years. i donno H1b transfer is possible on a pending MTR (it may be..). but you cannot transfer now as you are already out of status.

Hi,
My Lawyer is waiting for Denial from USCIS, BUT

Are you sure that we can work Once we file MTR for Same Company?

I heard We can make a transfer after we file MTR.

Thanks
