之前被lay off, file了轉F2的申請,現在還在pending狀態,剛剛接到一個小公司的口頭offer,但是HR似乎對H1b transfer之類的事情不是很清楚,對她解釋了自己已經有H1b的名額,但是我其實也不明白,我這種情況是辦理H1b transfer還是辦一個新的H1b?
-It is H1 transfer, same procedure as a new H1 filing. You do not need to get a new H1 quote.
如果是需要辦理新的H1b,在我已有名額的情況下,是不是叫作file new H1b with existing cap?
另外,這種情況,是不是拿到receipt就可以上班了?
-No because unless your last paycheck stub was issue within one month.
或者是辦理加急,兩周後拿到approve notice就可以上班?
最後,是不是要在辦理H1b之前撤銷辦F2的申請?多謝
-Your case somewhat complicate because you have a pending F2 application. If your H1 approval is before your F2 approval, your F2 I-94 will override your H1 I-94/status and thus, your final status is F2, not H1 and then, you have to file a NEW h1 AGAIN or go to China to get the H1 visa to come back. You can not withdraw your F2 because it will result in a gap in your status.
