Hi,
I came to USA in May 2001,I recently called INS STATUS LINE and talked to the immigration information officer about my h1 visa status. She said my h1 was approved on so and so date, she said nothing whether its revoked i.e cancelled or not. She said it will be revoked after the last date of visa or approved date for that matter. So I decided to get my H1 transfer as soon as possible. But my employer had said they had informed INS that they dont need my services in MAY 2001 itself and I was not told about this to till date. I was surprised with this bcause INS LINE says visa not cancelled.
Now my question to u guys is
1) How much will it take for H1 transfer including premium processing fees.. I heard its 3000 ( i.e ins fee + premium + attorney) Can someone give me exact figures plzzzzzzzz....
2) Will i get H1 transfer approval WITH new I-94 and extention of stay and change of status..... what are my chances.... i dont have pay stubs with me as the company never paid me till date.. ......
3) How can i exactly determine what my status is and whether my visa is cancelled or not
4). If INS had started counting 180-day "overstay" for 3-year bar, when would they have most likely started the countdown?
5) What are my chances of leaving the country and coming back again say on f1 or h1? Will i be deported from the airport? I read that "Not maintaining your status makes you deportable but you do not begin to accumulate overstay until INS becomes aware of your illegal presence. " Since INS STATUS LINE says my visa is not cancelled, does it mean I have not started my overstay period.
Plz answer this question for me without fail..........
Plz reply as soon as possible...... What are my chances.... If you want to know more about my case plz read this post which i had posted couple of months back....
