H1B visa at home country
What would happen if a person gets all the paperwork approved by the INS to obtain an
H1B visa but the person is currently out of status? The person needs to go to his/her
home country, apply for the H1B visa and present the approval from the INS. What are
the chances that the Consulate would know that the person was out of status in the US
for over three years? Have anyone of you heard if it is possible to obtain a visa
being in that situation? Thanks

Re: H1B visa at home country
Don't worry too much. If you have overstayed then just cross your fingers! But who
really knows if you'll be found out. But if you have been approved for a H1-B visa
then there is no reason for you to worry, as all you need to do is go to the US
Embassy in the country of your origin where you'll get another form of computer print
out visa stuck into your passport (which clearly states your name of your sponsor,
validation/expiration date and a case number).
Once you have been APPROVED, then means you got away with. BUT your H1-B will be
given to you at the consulate of your home country as all the paperwork has been
dealt with, here in the US. If you were denied, you would of heard something from the
INS during the processing of the H1-B. IF the INS has approved you, well good for
you. Just leave the US via Mexico!
And come back into the US (with your H1-B visa) and you will be in status, working
and paying US taxes.
Good luck!

If you believe that, then you're asking for trouble.
No, you may not have heard anything from the INS. This can come back to bite you at
any time in the future ... any time at all.
The INS does NOT approve you for a visa ... they approve the employment. The state
dept approves your visa. The INS still has to approve your entry into the US in H1B.

Re: H1B visa at home country
Sounds like a tough situtation if you have been out of status for 3 years. If you
still received H-1B approval, may be you are really not out of status though you seem
to think so. If you really were out of status, you need to get a waiver, if possible,
to enter into the country again.
You sure need some help here. Check out:
