H1B weird scenario - Need immediate help

[Anjali Kakkad]

I filed change of status- H4 to H1B in 2014 and got approval of H1B on June 30 2014.
- After that I travelled to India and returned back on Sep. 10 2014 on H4 only since H1B starts from Oct 1 2014.
- Then I started working in Oct 2014 for my employer who filed my H1B as a contractor.
- Meanwhile when I my Employer supposed to file my LCA on this client location which they forgot to do.
- Now I am about to change my employer and get H1B transferred.
- Is there going to be a problem?
- What should be done in this scenario?

There won't be any problem as long as USCIS recognizes that you are in H1B status. The reason I say that is you traveled outside U.S and return back in H4 before your H1B COS effective date. I am not sure if you are really considered to be on H1B status or H4 status. The only way to find out is by filing a transfer. If it gets approved, then you know for sure that you were in H1B status all this while.
