H1 Transfer from outside US - urgent help needed
Hi
I work in a big MNC in india and hold a valid visa .But they r not
sending me to US now.so i spoke with several sponsors to file fresh H1
this yr. They are advising me to come to US using my current visa
itself and get it transfered.But some people are not advising it and
see it as illegal route.After doing some ground work,i can understand
why some attorney is not generally recommending this.Because when the
new sponsor submits my transfer application to USCIS immediately after
reaching USA, USCIS might get suspicion that my intention was transfer
all along and not to work for current employer and it might raise
doubts and may lead to rejection of transfer.
There is one more way.
a. New sponsor in US can apply for transfer when iam in india itself
in premium processing.
b. Sponsor should select for "transfer" (change of employment) instead
of "new employment" while making the application and should
mention my previous petition number in the filed petition.
c. In the columns against SSN, I94 details, it can be given as NA.
Can anyone please let me know if such transfer is possible and if one
can enter US on old visa and new approved petition.?
