INS COMMENTS ON CASE OF CHANGE IN H-1B EMPLOYERS In a recent letter to Minnesota immigration attorney Matthew Oh and reported by the American Immigration Lawyers Association, the Immigration and Naturalization Service addressed the following situation: - Alien is admitted in H-1B status to work for Employer A - After arriving in the US, another employer, Employer B, petitions for the alien - Before the INS approves the change of status petition, the alien leaves the US - The INS approves the change of status petition while the alien is outside the US - The alien reenters the US and continues work for Employer A The specific question asked was whether the alien could then begin working for Employer B. The INS states that the alien can immediately begin work for Employer B and Employer B need not file a new petition on behalf of the alien. The fact that the alien was outside of the US when the petition was approved is not considered to be relevant. < Back | Next >Disclaimer: This newsletter is provided as a public service and not intended to establish an attorney client relationship.
