My H1(from employer B) is approved but my change of status from H4 TO H1 was denied.
My history:
I previously had an H1 for another job(employer A) but I was let go so I reverted to h4 status which was approved prior to the H1 from employer A. This happened in 2010. Now immigration is denying my status change request saying I was out of status for the last two years. In the last two years I went back to school on my H4 so clearly it was valid. My lawyer has contacted immigration but their answer is for me to leave and get stamped from India but if their records state that I was out of status for the last two years I will not be allowed to re enter. I am not sure what to do? I had a valid H4 visa for the last two years (it expires in SEPTEMBER 2012) but they are completely ignoring it. WHY? Wat should my course of action be? Any help would be appreciated.
