here is why?

1. I got offer in October, 2004.
2. sent out H1 application out in October, 2004
3. wait for almost 5 months and got H1 in March, 2005.
4. already no response in first 2 months, so I heard that working in that company would not be good.
5. I quit.
6. When I got the approval of H1, I think I can apply and got my H1 visa in Toronto consulate. I think it won't be bad for me so that I can go to USA as H1 status.
7. After I got H1 visa, i visited usa once this summer.
8, recently I heard that somebody say that H1 status is only good for a people for 5 or 6 years.
9. Now I am worried that If i want to apply usa green card sometime in the future, can i still have 5 or 6 years for green card application?

if somebody is exprienced on this issue, please share this information with me or somebody else visitors of Rolia.net from Canada.

Thank you!

  • 枫下茶话 / 美国话题 / 我美過H1簽證剛剛批了,就不想去上班了。現在我還在加拿大,以後還可以再申請H1嗎?或美國綠卡嗎?我要不要告訴美國移民局啊?
    • What do u mean????
      • I mean, I got my H1 Visa this Month, but it took 5 months to approve the H1. Now I have refused the offer in USA.
      • If I may want to go to work in USA again in the future and maybe apply USA green card, Can I apply H1 or T4 again? I am Canadian now
        • 照你这么说,你应该只是拿到劳工部的批准,好像是I-94表,如果你不去美驻加拿大大使馆申请签证H1B,就等于没有拿到H1B。
          • I got my H1 Visa in Toronto's Consulate already. I also applied USA's Social Security Card already. But I didn't work for the company. Understand? :)
            • Quite stange, if you have refused the offer, How come you still apply for and get H1B and even SSN since you have no intention going to work in USA? You should not have applied for H1B at the first place....
              Frankly, it seems to me that you did something stupid...:P

                • You should not use H1B if you have no intention to work for the company who sponsed you
                  as long as you used your H1B, the total-6-years clock starts tick - your current H1B is going to be used up around 2010.
                • You lied to the visa officer and custom officer when you applied the visa and went to the States. It is a fraud. Yes the 6-year kicks in at the first entry of USA.
                • h1b
                  You have broken the U.S. immigration law by what you did. You may get trouble if you apply for green card in the future.
                • what you did have broken the u.s. immigration law. you may have trouble in the future if you apply for a green card.
    • 为什么不想去上班?
    • 你用掉了一个名额!害的我没工作!BS
    • If you don't work for your sponsor company, your h1b won't be effective. So it won't affact you anyway. You won't be able to do a transfer without paystubs. With the quota gone, why not work on this h1b for a while?
      • Still not good offer there, in USA now. I think I may go to work next year. I didn't earn any salary from the company in the H1 visa. Can I still apply Green card later?
        • If you really don't want to work for that company, you'd better invalidate that h1b. Maybe you can return I94 on I797, or apply for a B1/B2 visa. It shouldn't affact your future status.
          • how do you return the I94 on I797? thank you
          • by the way, I have B1/B2 visa, too going to USA is not a big problem for me
            • you can have only one visa at a time. The latest one determines your status. You can return i94 at border. I797 has a i94 attached at the bottome. if you return it, it can show you won't use your h1b to enter US.
          • I just want to apply for social security card when i entered the usa as H1 visa.
            • of course you can do that. But SSN will be mailed to you. I don't know how long it takes. And if you are not to work in US, what's the use of SSN? You can always get one afte you get work.
            • Why did you need to apply for SSN since you do not work in the USA? Well, what you did may have violated the USA immigration law....
              you may need to contact the immigration department to figure out what you should do now...Anyway, good luck!
