H1B extension denied    Aj   06/23/2018 01:09 PM  

Folks my H1b extension was denied. I applied extension last oct2017. Got RFE in may17. Responded in premium and receipt got updated as denied online in uscis.
How many day do I have to leave US?
My 240 days expires this thursday. I need to close all my commitments sell some stuff so would need a week. Can I book my ticket after Thursday. Do I need to wait for hardcopy from uscis before I book ticket.
Your feedback is

Sorry to hear that..I hope your I 94 has not expired..in that case you will be out of status immediately. What 240 days are you talking about? I have always heard about a 60 day grace period on H1B that too if you have been fired..if yor petition was denied then you can not stay beyong your I 94 expiry date..please consult a good lawyer..

Hi AJ. It is always better to leave as soon as possible. This also helps you if you are coming back. 240 days rule is only for employment. No need to wait for hard copy.

240 days was the period I can wait after filing my extension. My i94 expired as well and I was waiting for the extensi ok n to come through. I have requested my employer to block the ticket asap.

Was in same boat before I found a new full time job. You have 180 to leave us before you violate visa terms. You can call murthy forum 250$ for 20min session can discuss your options.

Please don't accumulate illegal stay after your I 94 has expired..leave asap to not jeopardize your return...you will have a much easier time explaining it to the visa officer next time..don't listen to the 180 days BS. Consult an attorney asap and take their advice..this is a grey area..best thing is to not hang around and reduce the possibility of violating any law.

Thanks all for your advise. I'm blocking my tickets.
I dint knew that you have 180 days to jump to a new employer but I'm not in a position to try that now.

Hi,

I faced same situation 1-year ago. we have to leave the US as soon as possible (2-3 weeks fine) .if you stay more than 30 days you may face problem while coming.

You can try to refile after going to India.

Try switching to B1 visa and mention the same reasons like need time to sell or ship things to India.

You dont have 180 days to jump to new employer. It's all different things. You have 60 days to jump to new employer. 180 days of out of status stay is permitted. More than 180days will be counted as violating your visa terms. And will be difficult to reenter. Please dont assume all dates. Refer to a lawyer for complete details.

May I know the reason why it got denied. and how much salary per year you had filed.

Re: Re: Re: H1B extension denied    Us   06/24/2018 02:51 PM  

You have the options
60days from date of denial file new h1b and transfer (with valid i94)

Or Leave asap...you DONT have 180days. 180 days period is for your next visa. If you stay more than 180 days without valid visa you will be banned from us for 3 years. Any illeagal stay within 180 days can be waived by the next immigration person based on the reason you give. 180 days is not for you to find job. It's for vacating
