When do you get I-797B?

[VAU]

Hello everyone,

I need to understand under what all circumstances does an H1B applicant/H1B transfer applicant receive I-797B from USCIS. Through internet research, I understood two circumstances in which one would get I-797B for H1B approval:
1. If you are in a country other than US, so you need to get visa stamped before entering US
2. If you are currently residing in US and 'have not been able to maintain H1B status', so you need to go back to home country to get visa stamped before re-entering US and joining the company with which you transferred H1B visa

Are there any other circumstances in which you can get I-797B while you are currently residing in US? I will greatly appreciate if someone can enlighten me on this topic. Thank you in advance.

Hello, VAU.

I797 is needed in all cases for H1B. This is the petition approval an employer receives for his application of sponsoring someone. Every employer has to file I797 for H1B visas.

You are staying in the US or outside, for H1B Visas, I797 is required for all cases.

I hope this helps.

Wishing you luck.

Cheers,

Thank you for your prompt response, Nattybone. I agree with you on I797, however, there are three types A, B, C and I am talking in particular about I-797B. I will appreciate if anyone can shed some light on this. Thanks in advance.
