I've gotten almost everything finished for en3398's H-1B petition to be sent to USCIS. However, it will not be ready to mail tomorrow (6/30) when her current H-1B expires. This H-1B was received by our office on June 7th. Therefore, we didn't have enough time to get this paperwork filed PRIOR to the expiration of her current H-1B status which expires on June 30th. We always recommend receiving H extensions 6 months in advance.
Attached is a letter which explains that en3398 must be taken off payroll effective June 30th and the consequences of this late filing on her legal status in the USA.
In addition, the earliest I will be able to send this would be tomorrow or sometime early next week. Therefore, we will need to ask USCIS to forgive the late filing and hope they will agree to do so. If not, this may require that en3398 leave the USA with the H-1B petition (once approved) and obtain the H-1B status abroad. In that case, she would have to travel and return once the H-1B petition for extension was approved by USCIS.
Finally, I would highly recommend that the Dept. and/or en3398 pay $1,000 for premium processing. Otherwise, she could be OFF payroll and out of legal status for a really long time and also be very unsure of her legal status as to whether she will be required to travel or not. She cannot use the 240-day rule for working after the expiration date because that only applies to "timely filed applications" Since this one will NOT be timely filed, she will not be eligible for this benefit.
I will try my best to mail this tomorrow. I've attached the Posting notices so you can put them up now and return to me the first page as per usual with these filing.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Ессесно кинувшись звонить устанолила цепочку секретарш на каникулах ( !!!!!!!!!!!!!) включительно, мой босс где-то в горах без доступа к цивилизации. Будет в среду бушевать "после драки кулалами не машут"
