Is paystub necessary for h1 to h4 transfer at consulate ?

USA H1B Visa
1

Hi ,

I came on H4 to U.S in Dec 2011 which was valid till Dec 2012 with valid visa stamp till dec 2012 . Before its expiry I got the h4 extended till dec 2013 …I applied for a h1b meanwhile and got it approved in Jan 2013 which is approved till sep 2015 …though I never got any project to work on and hence I have no paystubs with me . My employer later revoked my h1b in jun 2013 …now If I go to india to return on H4 what are my chances ? Would the VO ask for pay stubs (which I dont have ) and what are the other documents needed ? Due to my ignorance if I missed any issue please let me know the possibilities ? I am looking to travel to India in next 3-4 days

Please respond back asap treating this very urgent …thank you

Yes, they can ask for H-1 payslips for the period you were inside US on H-1 visa. If you don’t have, then they can issue 221g and put your case in administrative processing. You stayed in US on H-1 for close to 6 months w/o getting paid, which is SERIOUS and can lead to 3 year bar from entering US.

I suggest talking to a good immigration lawyer ASAP.

BTW, I assume your H-1 was approved w/ COS. Is that correct?
