Hi,
This is regarding H1B 2016.
I am in a complicated situation. I will simplify my scenario below.
1. Was working from 2012 in a US based multinational company-A, Indian office.
2. In 2014, some part of company (including my division) is acquired by another multinational company-B (They are Europe based company) from company-A.
3. My L1B Blanket visa was stamped in early 2014 for Company A. But I couldn't join the US office because of the acquisition deal between comany-A and Company-B.
4. Company-A told that they cannot proceed with L1B due to the acquisition policies. But Company-A was ready to file H1B for me and did the same for H1B 2016 cap in April 2015.
5. I got selected in H1B lottery and my case is approved two weeks back (But VISA is not stamped on my passport.). I do got a I-797B COPY (Not original) with I-94 from Company-A immigration team.
6. Company acquisition deal is now closed and transition is completed. So now I am an employee of Company-B.
7. Since I am a Company-B employee now, Company-A immigration team is now asking permissions from Company-B management to proceed in H1B stamping process. Hope this is because of the rules in the acquisition deal.
8. In between this, my earlier manager (Company-A) has resigned from company-A last month (August 2015). This manager initiated my case earlier.
9. Now I am not reporting to any US manager in company-A. But Company-B management needs my US reporting manager to proceed.
10. Due to the unavailability of US reporting manager in Company-A, there wont be anyone who can push this process for me in the management level. So Company-B may not go further on this and worried that they would tell to Company-A to withdraw my petition.
I hope the scenario is clear. I have few questions to proceed with H1B approval. They are.
1. If company-B management is not providing permission to company-A to go with this, What are the possible ways to get a position in US.
2. Can I find a new sponsor, company-C and change my Employer before Visa stamping process?
3. If I can proceed with a new employer company-C, is there any Employer-Employee relationship issue to reject my Visa while stamping?
4. Is my H1B visa will only get affected after October 1, 2015? If my current petitioner (Company-A) decided to withdraw my petition before Oct 1 2015, then would it be equal to visa denied and cant go with Company-C without cap exemption.
5. Am I eligible for cap exemption even if my Company-A petition is withdrawn?
Could you suggest possibilities to retain this approved H1B and to get a position in US
Thanks and regards,
