My current employer filed H1B petition and it got approved in 2012 and its valid from Oct. 2012 to Sept. 2015. Now I’m changing job and moving to new employer.
My passport is not stamped and my current employer has not and will not share my petition number. Can I use this approved petition with my new employer and file under non-cap even without having petition number? I’m in India.
If possible,then what will be the process?
See if FOIA can be utlized to get your receipt number. You can search for it online.
Thanks Saurabh.Can I get the petition details by filing FOIA and can it be done from India?Do you know if anyone can help me out with FOIA.
Thanks!
If you have a new employer, ask their attorney to file it for you.
I think you can file it while being in India. But I don’t know where they will send the petition details to (I am not sure if they send the document overseas).
My friend had filed (since I’m in India) FOIA on my behalf to get my receipt number and petition details 4 week back for my approved H1B petition. He got reply from USCIS office stating that they couldn’t find any records related to me in their system and they need additional information from me to get records.I had given all the information which I had in G-639 form itself.
Please suggest what all document or information from my side can help USCIS to locate my records.I don’t know my Alien Registration Number.
Thanks!
Can you please let us know, what was your final result ?
Did you get your petition number and finally H-1 transfer ?
