Hi everyone,
I am a UK citizen with an H1B visa valid until Dec 2003.
I was hired by a US company in March 2001 with an H1B. The company went
under in March 2003 and I was laid off. I have now left the US and
returned to Europe.
My passport still has my H1B visa valid until Dec 2003, specifying that
I am sponsored by my former (no longer exisiting) employer.
So, what I'd like to know is the following:
- how easily transferable is my H1B to another employer before Dec 2003?
- if so, how much will it cost, what kind of paperwork will it involve?
- do companies know how easy it is to transfer the visa? in other words,
when I see that I am "the holder of a renewable h1B visa", do
employers generally know what this means? and is that a good way to
describe it?
- and what about after Dec 2003? will my old application from 2000-2001
still be valid?
I would be grateful if anyone could answer any or all of the above
questions, or point me to somewhere or someone that can.
Cheers!
Patrick
