Hi Man,

In your case you cant transfer your H1B to new employer since you are in india still. USCIS requires atleast a months paystub in US for transferring the visa, so in your case it is ruled out. What you can do is try to apply for a new H1B through a genuine employer and get it approved and then go for interview. This is not legal advice, just my suggestion.


Thanks

hi abc..

thanx for your suggestion but i was looking for some legal issues that may arise due to my new filing.

There are no legal issues if you appy for a second H1B. H1B transfer may not be possible though. If you cancel your appointment on time, you may be able touse the receipt for one year from the date of issue.
