Questons about H1B and LCA change (Please Advise)

[vickych3]

Hi,


Actually i have list of question where i am not getting satisfactory answers. Please help.

1. I am working with an Indian IT MNC we have our subsidiary in USA too. My employer filed my petition but soon after lottery results i have got a response that my application not selected in lottery. I was disappointed for few minutes and accepted as a part of life. But then this month all of sudden one mail popped up from my attorney stated that my H1B petition has been approved and reached India for stamping.
My question is what could be the circumstances where i got direct approved petition notification but no lottery confirmation?

2. I am in process for visa stamping. I have to work for client who has many offices across the country. My current LCA is for New York. But i have received a message from my onsite team that i have to move to Ohio (long term destination) after completing a 2 month's assignment in New York. Client is same. I believe my employer needed to file an H1 amendment for new location. My question is: is there any risk of rejection if my employer apply for new LCA and H1 amendment in such frequency??

3. If i need to go (i think surely) amendment process in USA do i need to go for visa interview process again or any deferent process?

4. If yes.. where i need to go for new Visa stamping?



Thanks,

>>> Not sure what happened there. If the petition is not picked by in lottery, then I am not sure how it can be approved. Maybe the employer made a mistake assuming that it did not got selected or they decided to hide that fact from you.

>>> Nope. That is no reason for rejection.

3. If i need to go (i think surely) amendment process in USA do i need to go for visa interview process again or any deferent process?
>>> Nothing. Just amendment need to be filed and it should get approved.

4. If yes.. where i need to go for new Visa stamping?
>>> N/A
