asked Dec 27, 2013 in H-1B by Arun
I am trying for h1b within US through consultancy companies. Company revoked my h1b; which are my options left -
1. consultancy is ready to pay premium transfer of h1b immediately.But they dont have any projects as of now. Application can be marked as RFE when client sponsors him, then h1b transfer is possible.

2. got initial response from h1 for technical interviews in the coming weeks setup with various companies, process might take 1-2 months, then h1b transfer can be applied

3. transfering to b2 status when i am in US and wait for 2) then make h1b transfer.

please help

when the H-1B is going away, we switch to a B-2 visa until we can port to a real job. The consultancy route you mention sounds like a new version of an old scam. CIS wants you to have an employer and work there. They would be uncomfortable with your consultancy job. Stay in status, keep your options open, and find that next job!
