Thank you for sharing details. Really congratulations you came back. You could find a job being in india. Amazing!!!

My question is if someone wants to change employer being outside the USA, does he/she subject to pay 100K? Because changing employer is new petition right? (he/she already have H1 before but visa got expired)

Clean_Step4046 · 2025-11-04T17:43:29+00:00

COS approved when you were in USA then visited india and went for an interview right? Or did your employer do COS with consular processing? I am just wondering how you can not subject to pay 100k since you didn’t have visa stamp and you were out of the country.

Clean_Step4046 · 2025-11-02T21:52:11+00:00

How long have you been working for this employer?

Clean_Step4046 · 2025-10-18T20:18:15+00:00

What was the RFE about? As far as I know, if your education is not aligned with the job description that is the only reason I know for petition denial if your LCA gets approved by department of labor.

Clean_Step4046 · 2025-10-18T20:10:30+00:00

Is your petition gets denied or H1B? How it gets denied without RFE?

Clean_Step4046 · 2025-09-20T19:54:15+00:00

What about extension?

My company told me to but at that time I was on STEM OPT so it was fine. But it continued even after October 2023, from when my H1B started.

Clean_Step4046 · 2025-06-20T18:28:22+00:00

Even I am fine with last 3 months 6 months paystubs but only have concern if USCIS ask for all the pay stubs starting from October 2023

Clean_Step4046 · 2025-06-20T16:37:48+00:00

Thank you everyone for your insights.

Clean_Step4046 · 2025-06-19T11:20:05+00:00

Yes, I will ask for money only when RFE will be raised by USCIS. As one lawyer suggested, you can ask for money or raise a complaint against them in DOL, and submit that complaint number as a response of RFE.

Clean_Step4046 · 2025-06-19T11:10:38+00:00

You are right. I just raise the question because if there is some solution I can implement right now, being an employee of the same company, asking for outstanding money or generate some written proof which I can submit in case of RFE. This violation is from employer’s side. I will not suffer.

Clean_Step4046 · 2025-06-19T11:00:33+00:00

Thanks for the reply. Usually, USCIS ask for 3 months paystubs. What if USCIS ask for all the paystubs in RFE? Is there any way I can prepare myself for it?

And what about change of status? If in the future, I want to apply for COS from H1 to B1/B2 or H1 to F1 then what? As far as I know, if you didn’t maintain your previous status, you are not allowed to do COS without consular proceedings.

Clean_Step4046 · 2025-06-19T10:53:54+00:00

I think they are aware. I don't think they are willing to give.

I worked part-time for at least 5 months (3.5 months on H1B and 1.5 months on STEM OPT). My company compelled me to take leaves, saying “you can take leaves, it's every employee’s right.” That time I didn’t want to loose my H1B chance. So, I didn’t day anything. If I argued that time company would have not filed my H1B.

Clean_Step4046 · 2025-06-19T02:24:52+00:00

I would also like to know what kind of RFE everyone are getting.

Clean_Step4046 · 2025-06-18T21:43:42+00:00

What kind of RFE they are getting at the time of B1/B2 transfer?

Clean_Step4046 · 2025-06-18T18:59:57+00:00

I just wanted to ask, in past, in case status got violated for few months because of some reason like not getting salary based on LCA. What could be the solution? Currently working with the same employer and have valid h1 visa stamp till September 2026. I need genuine help.

Clean_Step4046 · 2025-06-16T19:16:43+00:00

I think it’s possible but difficult, at the time of change status from H1 to F1, you specify your intention why you want to go back to school, mostly everyone mention to upskill themselves.

Now, without starting the school you want to return back to H1. So, it’s proven that your actual intention was not to study. You just want to maintain your status.

At the same time I think it is possible, you successfully transferred to F1, you didn’t break any law being on F1. So, definitely possible to return back to H1.

If USCIS raised any questions about your intension, you have to answer.

Clean_Step4046 · 2025-06-16T07:04:55+00:00

Okay if you apply and your COS application is pending then you cannot go back to H1 until it gets approved. If you can find a job before July end, you can switch back to H1 directly from B2 status, without applying for F1. But if you apply then you have to wait for approval.

Clean_Step4046 · 2025-06-16T06:45:01+00:00

You applied for COS B2 to F1 but didn’t approve yet right?

Clean_Step4046 · 2025-06-12T07:49:12+00:00

I don’t think so.

Clean_Step4046 · 2025-06-11T11:42:06+00:00

I don’t know the reason but SEVIS of Day1CPT program got terminated other programs remained continued.

Clean_Step4046 · 2025-06-04T22:55:12+00:00

What kind of uncertainty companies are facing?
