Legal Question in Immigration Law in Virginia

Re: is this possible wtih h1b transfer

Simply send a letter to the USCIS district office

which approved your H1B transfer explaining the situation with a request that you be reissued an I-94 card.(Attach a copy of the transfer approval.)

Re: is this possible wtih h1b transfer

If the Service Center did not approve the extension, there may have been a determination that you were not in status at the time of filing of the transfer petition. If you believe the Service erred in its decision, you would have to file a motion to reopen or reconsider. Unfortunately, such motions are not adjudicated on a timely basis. The path of least resistance may be to go abroad (not necessarily to your home country) and apply for a new H-1B visa. You would be able to go to a US Consulate in Canada (unless you are unlawfully present in the U.S.).

Responding to this inquiry in no way establishes an attorney client relationship; however, I look forward to exploring these issues with you further by way of telephone consultation.
