I worked for company A and got laid off by them on 14th Sep'2002. Then i was in bench till 9th Feb'2003 and got hired by company B. I worked for company B till Aug'2003 and then company A wanted to hire me back again and i went back to company A. Company A filed a new H1B for me since it said it had cancelled my old H1B, but never told me that earlier(also it was trying to get me placed by getting interviews). I havent got the new H1B from Company A yet but my H1B/I-94 from company B is valid till 2006. Now i had sent my passport for H1B revalidation and DID NOT get approved. They had asked me to go for a personal interview at overseas consulate without providing any reason. Is the case above the reason for not getting approved? What are my chances, if i apply again?
Thanks a lot,
Ganesh
 
there may be numerous reasons for not issuing stamping. for example expired previous visa, passport validity, incomplete documentation etc. As long as you have the extended I-94 card continue with your job and while planning your trip to your home country schedule appointment for H1 visa stamping. An Attorney will be able to figure out the reason for non- stamping after reviewing your file.
 
re:- H1B revalidation Please help

Thanks a lot manu.

I got one more question. My wife's I-94 is getting expired next month. I need to get a new one. Now, since my H1B revalidation didnt get approved, will the seal in my old visa saying "Cancelled without Prejudice" any way affect her not getting the new I-94. Do i have to send xerox copies of my passport? And also i was planning to bring my parents as visitors. Please advice. I appreciate your help.

Ganesh.
 
that should not cause any problems logically. But we cannot predict. So submit your spouses H4 if any RFE/query is generated then you can deal with that.
