Hi,
First let me explain my situation. I was on H4 visa previously. Before 4 months I got project as a full time employee. As I had to visit India for family function, my employer filed my H1 in premium process and got approval. When I was in India, I went for H1-b visa stamping. There I got g221 query blue slip, asking more documents from my company. My employer didn't gave all documents, so my case was pending for 2 months. After waiting more than 2 months, I sent request for withdrawal of my H1-b application. I re-applied for H4 visa, appeared for interview and got H4 visa stamped. Finally I came back to US.
As my company is small firm, they wants me to work with them after coming here. When I sent email to US Embassy for withdrawal of my H1-b visa, I wrote as "I voluntarily and willfully wish to withdraw my H1B application. I no longer wish to pursue employment with (name of my company)". So my question is , Can I work with same company with Change of Status to H1-b? Will it be legal ? Is there any other way to work with that company? Please suggest me.
Thanks in advance
