Hi, I am working for Company A, the division that I am working for, is spinning off into a new company B with a VC investment. My PERM is pending with USCIS and will take another 7-8 months, whereas the spin off will be done in next 2 months. I asked the company lawyers, but they are not giving any answer. I am on 7th year of H1B, so no more extensions for me unless PERM is approved. What happens to my PERM application pending with USCIS after spin off? Will it have to be restarted after spin off? Or we can wait for approval and add amendment? Please suggest and help! It has been a very stress ..read more

My I-797 petition and stamped H1B visa both have expired now. But I couldn’t enter United States even a single time before it expired. Can I approach another employer to transfer the same petition and assist me with re-stamping of visa without going through the fresh lottery process? 1 post - 1 participant Read full topic ..read more

My original second H1B visa stamp expires Nov 2024, but my company used the time I spent in India when I joined them and got an h1b i797 approved till July 2025 during H1B transfer.

I’m currently on H1B and my status is going to expire on Oct 10th 2024. I work from home and I recently moved to a new place which is outside the MSA of the old place(my previous work location which is registered with USCIS). My employer is in the process of filing an H1B extension for me and the employer also got the LCA certified for the new work location. My question is can my employer give the new work location in the H1B extension application or do they have to file another petition just for the location amendment? 1 post - 1 participant Read full topic ..read more
