Hi,
I came to USA in Dec-2006 with company A. Later I have changed to company B and transfered my visa to company B in Mar-2008. Company B layed me off on 16-Oct-2008 with out any prior notice and told me that I am out of status on same day. I have got the formal termination letter also. How come they simply fire an employee who is on H1 status? I am sure that company A revoked my H1.
Well, I have now found a new employer/company "C" who is ready to apply for my H1 transfer and I have sent my papers/documents today. He will submit my paper work to INS asap. Please help me with my doubts following:
1. Would my H1 transfer approved with out any issues?
2. Do I need to go back to India and come back with new visa approval/stamp? Or Can I stay here in US? (My first visa approved through company A in Oct-2006 and still valid until Oct-2009). I went to India in Aug-2008 and returned US with my new approval notice from company B.
3. Do I need to file for another visa status until my visa transfer with company C get approved?
4. Can I start working for company C as soon as he submits my paper work with INS?
I would appreciate your valuable suggestions/replies. Your answers would save my life/future.
Thanks,
Krishna
