Hi All,
My H1-B petition was filed and approved in April 2014 while I was working for employer 'A' in USA on F1-OPT. Even though my F1-OPT EAD is valid till July 2015, it would have ended by october 1st 2014 because of approved H1-B petition(H1-B period will be applicable from october 1st).
I visited India and went for H1-B stamping in 1st week of september 2014. I was issued BLUE 221(g) and requested for additional documents. I submitted the documents per 221g but the my case has been under administrative processing for 3 months and still there is no change in status. My F1-OPT has ended on october 1st 2014 and H1-B is under administrative processing. Hence, I cannot enter USA now to resume my work.
Question 1 : I'm working from India now. If I change my job, will my new employer 'B' able to transfer my H1-B and Can I go to stamping overriding the previous one which is under administrative processing ?
Question 2 : Though its too late now, with H1-B visa under administrative processing(221g) and F1-OPT that was virtually valid till october 1st only, Could I have entered USA in september 2nd week ?
