A123 ] You can resign whenever you want, as long as you have another legal status (such as an F-1 visa). No restriction.

Q124 I am already on H1 from X company and have an offer to work for Y company on parttime basis. My question is can I still obtain H1B for that company. And would it have any effect on My green card processing which has not yet begun.

A124 You may do a part time H-1. For GC, there is no affect.

Q125 I've seen people who have two H1 visas due to a change in job - now, my friend has a problem - she is in India and has a H1 visa for company A. She however has not been able to come here due to personal problems. If she were to seek a job from some other company B in the US, is it required that she must have used her H1 for A before B can process a H1 for her?

A125 There is no such requirement. She can go forward with co. B.

Q126 What if my spouse has to go back on H4? (If I change a job, etc.)

A126 You can use the same process again to change your status.

Q127 When employer fires an employee on H1-B visa for whatever reason, what will happen to the legal status of the person (employee)?

A127 ]Period of stay regulation:8 C.F.R. 214.2(h)(13)(i)(13)Admission(i)General(A)A beneficiary shall be admitted to the United States for the validity period of the petition, plus a period of up to 10 days before the validity period begins and 10 days after the validity period ends.

BUT, if an H-1B employee gets laid off, there is no grace period.

Q128 But I think one can get it?

A128 I don't know.

Q129 Is filing for a visa extension the same as filing a new H-1?

A129 ] The filing process is the just like filing a new H-1.

Q130 But just having degree does not prove that you are eligible for the job.

A130 I show him my previous company's 3 yrs experience letter of India.

Q131 How do these Education Evaluators evaluate the education?

A131 I don't know, may be the syllabus.

Q132 But I am sure they don't think about the fake degrees.

A132 Silence.

Q133 (sees it for sometime) Anybody can type it and sign.

A133 :-(Keeping a cool face and ofcourse smiling)Anything can happen. I can only say that these are not fake, I cannot prove at this time that they are not fake but I have been working in USA for over an year without any problems which would have not happened if these were fake -- and if these are not fake then that proves that I am eligible for the job.

Q134 How much do they pay you?

A134 I showed my HR's letter stating the salary.

Q135 Go to the cash counter and pay the money and get me the receipt right here.

A135 That is it and I was called at 3:00PM to collect the passport. When I went at 3:00PM, it took around 4:30PM to come out. We walked to the consulate and there it took us 3 and half hour i.e around 7:30PM, I got my new I-94. After that you have to pay $6.00 and come out.

It is better to book a flight back after 8:00PM as I missed mine.

Best of luck and I hope this experience helps. -- Vanishree Juarez - NEW2 ----------- Experience 1997 [From Krishna Madakasira, krishna@3csoftware.com]

Dear Mr.Khanna, Let me thank you profoundly for providing very vital and useful information at your web site. We benefitted a lot from the readings contained in H1-B questionaire. I want to share my experiences when I (Actually we, me and my wife) went to Ciudad Juareez in Mexico. We took the following documents. I have indicated in the brackets whether they asked for the document or not by saying "Asked for" or "Not asked".

Original I-797 ----- [Asked for] Attorney certified copy of I-129 ----- [Asked for] Attorney certified LCA ----- [Asked for] Employer's letters about the offer and why we need multiple entry H1-B. ----- [Asked for] Original Degree certificates ----- [Asked for] Pay slips ----- [Asked for one slip] Fee in cash ($100.00 ( for visa ) + $ 20.00 (for MRV)) [ A must ofcourse ] Check book ( If there is any emergency ...) ---- [Not asked] Federal and State Tax returns ---- [Not asked] Company Brochure ----- [Asked for] Telephone Bill ---- [Not asked] The interview process was a little bit thorough but cool. There were nearly 20 applicants ( 9 in Computer related fields and one Doctor). Everyone was granted multiple entry. But ... we witnessed some ragging. One of the consular officers was very rude and asked questions that are totally irrelavant. Here is the listing of the questions ( We could overhear)

Why did not you go back to your country after studies ? ( The most pestered question) ( Ans : want to gain some experience) Why can not you gain the same in your country ? ( Ans : Want to get aquainted with the latest technology ) Do not you have latest technology in your country ? ( Ans : Yes, But want to get some exposure here in US before going back ) First question repeated . (Ans : As I said I wanted gain some experience ) That is true. But still you could have gone back. Why did not you do that ? (Ans : Stood quiet) Now the nerration started : I know why you did not go back. You want to settle here. Moreover you can not get a job in your country. Writr a letter to your government stating that they can not provide us jobs in India ; that is why we are sticking here . With some strong language this went on for some time. The response from the candidate's side was "Just be quiet and keep listening ". At last he said, "Take your stuff out ". ( He granted visa while saying so)

The above interview was repeated to two more persons.
