发帖数: 71 | 1 I just started a tenure track Assistant Professor position at a college.
Before that, I was holding a postdoctoral position in a university. My
present employer filed the petition of the H-1B transfer; it has been
approved not too long ago (this is the second year I am on H-1B). However,
the new H1B status is only valid till 05/06/2011, which is the last day of
my first year contract. (In my school, each assistant professor's contract
is renewed annually before tenure.) My question is the following: Is it
possible now to extend the date of the validity of my new H1B status
provided that a letter stating that I am on a tenure track position and my
contract is renewed annually is given by the President of the College? If so
, does the school have to file another H1B petition for me? Any suggestions
and comments will be appreciated. | W*****d

applied for you. I have the similar situation, my H1B is 3 years. | g******s

, while my H-1b is given for three years.
But I think yours is not a big problem. When you renew it next year, make
sure to ask a three-year one. | a*********h
发帖数: 71 | 5 Thank all for your suggestions. The College where I am working at is
small and has no much experience of processing H-1B previously. My situation
is the following: The new contract with a start date in August,2011 will be
distributed sometime in April, 2011, but the first contract will end at the
beginning of May. So the petition for
the extension of H-1B will be filed either before April or right after the
new contract is obtained. However, my current H-1B will be
expired on the same day as the last day of my first contract. So could I
still stay in US and work for the school legally between May and August,
2011? |
