hi all,

 

need some guidance here. 

 

- Currently on TN Visa.

- current employer is filing for H1B application ( April deadline)

- I have recently changed employers and got TN renwed.

- Should current H1B be filing be stopped? or no harm in going forward.?

- if the name is selected in the  lottery, can anything be done for filing the petition with new employer?

 

Thanks.

Your new employer needs to file for you. Let the Lawyers deal with it, what they are paid to do.

Your current Employer should file, your ex Employer presumably has cancelled the process.

before resigning i just got my TN for new employer yesterday, I am going to resign from existing job on April 1st.

 

now any benefit of going for H1B lottery application with existing employer? or should I inform them to stop it  as filing deadline in on April 1st?

I suppose if you will go and work for them if you get chosen could make sense.

I do not intend to return to the employer therefore there is no use of application even if it is selected in lottery? this is fine. 

 

is there any harm if I just resign after employer already applied for h1b lottery step? point is should I tell them about not to file for h1b before i resign?

If you have decided to resign from your current job it would be courteous to tell them now, heck, that's less than a week from now.  Don't most employers like at least a two-week notice?  You're only going to give them a few days?  Tell them now so they can cancel the H1B application since it is very expensive and won't help you at all after you leave that company.  An H1B application is connected to a specific company, a specific job, so when you leave that application is pointless and will waste money for them.  It may already be too late since they may have already paid the fees.  Why didn't you tell them as soon as you accepted the other job with a TN?  The may take the fees out of your last pay check so be ready for that.
