Can I Join My Old Employer If The H-1B Transfer Is Denied?

6 years ago By Chief Editor

Question details

I have an H-1B visa stamped from employer A and the employer B has filed my H-1B (Transfer visa) based on the H-1B petition visa from employer A. Now, my H-1B visa filed by employer B is on RFE and my employer A wants to file the GC based on my previously approved i-140 from employer C. Below are my questions:

1. Can I reject the offer from employer B and still continue to work with employer A on current Visa if my H-1B from employer B is approved? 
2. Can I reject the offer from employer B and still continue to work with employer A on current Visa if my H-1B from employer B is denied? 
3. In case my visa from employer B is rejected do I need to leave the country and come on the stamped visa which I have now? 
4. Can I ask employer A to file my Green Card even if my H-1B from employer B is rejected or approved without any issues or do I need to provide any visa documentation to employer A on my petition from employer B being approved or rejected?
Can I immediately file the Green Card with employer B (after joining the employer B office) if my visa from employer B is approved?

I would like to thank Rajiv, Bharathi and the rest of the team involved for the meticulous work done for the H1B transfer. In today's scenario, H1B approval with out any RFE becomes extremely difficult. With the excellent documentation work from this team, dream becomes true and H1B transfer approved with out RFE in just 4 days. This team reviewed all the documents line by line and made necessary changes, this is something new and unique, have not seen with any attorney so far. Kudos to the team.

Special thanks to Bharathi for taking our calls and queries at all times.

Highly professional team, with excellent support to the customers. I strongly and Highly recommend this team for all your immigration needs.

Mr Khanna provided great advice regarding my petition as it was complicated. We had to apply for an amendment while current H1B extension was pending. Mr Khanna made all the right arguments and we were able to get an approval. All along the process I've been working with Kalpana and Bharathi on regular basis and had calls scheduled with Mr Khanna when needed. They were very detailed and current in terms of documentation.
I would like to thank them once again and highly recommend "Law Office of Rajiv S. Khanna".

H-4 EAD Based Upon Prior Employers

6 years ago By Chief Editor

Question details

I am currently working with employer A on H-1B visa with I-140 approved for over 180 days. My wife is on F-1 EAD. I am planning to move her visa status from F-1 to H-4 EAD AFTER I join Employer B next month based on my approved I-140 from my employer A.

My questions are: 
1. Once I join employer B, will I be able to apply for my wife's H4 EAD based on approved I140 which I have from employer A? Can I apply both visa status change (F1 to H4) and application for H4 EAD concurrently? 
2. In other words, will changing my employer impact my wife's eligibility to get H-4 EAD based on my approved I-140 from previous employer? 
3. Can I change multiple employer based on I-140 approved from employer A? If yes, what if employer B has already started green card process (PERM)? 
4. If I get I-140 approved from employer B also then what will happen to I-140 approved with employer A?
