H-1B transfer when 221g pending
Question details
I was working on a EVVC model till Dec in the US, when I came to India for my stamping, I got a 221g which is now pending at the Chennai consulate. I am now trying to transfer my visa to the primary vendor to work for the same client. Is there any issue with this? Can I also respond to the 221g when I am doing the transfer?
I do not see any major issue with this as long as 221g was related to your employer, not you.
Can I postpone H-1 status

When do I become exempt from H-1 quota
Question details
I got my H-1B petition approved in 2008 and again got it extended in 2008 unto Jan 2011. Now, I have never used both these visa's to work in US. Though, I have traveled few times to US but on B-1 visa for meetings with customer. Today, one of my friend told me that I am eligible for cap exempt H-1B application if I get job in US. Also, what will be the processing time for this cap exempt H-1B. Can this be done in premium processing in 15 days ?
