FAQ: What is the meaning of a US “visa canceled without prejudice”? || I have an Approved I-140 from a previous job. My new employer has initiated the PERM. How can I make sure that the attorneys use the priority date from my old I-140? || What are the chances of an H-1B visa (STEM OPT) after completing Masters in the U.S? || H-1B visa holder travels abroad (Canada) for work sometimes; is an H-1B amendment required for change of address or location abroad?
Change of employers after H-1B is approved and before October 1; the number of pay stubs required; revocation of H-1B before October 1
Question details
I am currently on F-1 Stem OPT, and my H1B got approved this year a few days back. My current company is shutting down its operations and moving everything to Mexico.
1. They have given me the last date of employment as 31st October 2022. So my question is how soon can I change my employer and can I transfer my H1B to a new employer before 1st October 2022?
2. Also, if I can do my visa transfer only after October 1st 2022,?
3. Can I do that with 1 paystub, or will I require 2 paystubs?
FAQ Transcript
1. You are fine because you are going into the fiscal year of the government, which begins on October 1st and that makes you exempt from the H-1B quota forever.
2. You can change your employer even now if your current employer won't revoke before October 1st. If you are nervous about that you can file for a transfer after October 1st.
3. You do not need any particular number of pay stubs.

FAQ Transcript
One cannot use any wage survey to convince the government that one’s wage survey is as good as the government's own. I think there are about ten requirements that the wage survey must meet. A few requirements are for example the survey must be conducted by a reliable third party, the survey must not be more than two years old, you should be using the most recent copy of the survey, it must have a significant statistical pool from which the survey was conducted. These are a few requirements.

H-1B visa holder travels abroad (Canada) for work sometimes; is an H-1B amendment required for change of address or location abroad?
FAQ Transcript
The bottom line is there is no law that requires you to have an H-1B if you are working from a country other than the USA. Now if you go to Canada and you are a citizen of India and you do not have any work visa in Canada you will probably need a work visa in Canada. But sitting in Canada you could work for a U.S. company. Also the intermittent H-1B allows you to visit the U.S. for a few days as well as months. This is even allowed under the law. I therefore do not see any problem in working from abroad and coming to the USA intermittently.

What are the chances of an H-1B visa (STEM OPT) after completing Masters in the U.S?
Question details
What are the chances of an H-1B visa (STEM OPT) after completing Masters in the U.S?
FAQ Transcript
One is not sure what the laws are going to be or what the procedures are going to be in another few years. Congress is keenly aware of the perceived shortcomings in the H-1B process. Things might change by that time. It appears to me that having three tries through STEM and having a Master's degree improves your chances.

Discussion Topics:
FAQ: Was Green Card approved in error? Time taken by the USCIS to respond to an E request for correction, travel?|| Entry into the U.S. using the Advance Parole after green card approval during a trip abroad ||
We have a great experience working with Rajiv and his team. Vikas Varma was very professional and thorough. They prepared the RFE response of a very completed case so great that we got the approval of a very tough case. Its really worth the money they charge. We would like to continue using the services of LORK in the future.
