I’m new to this page and sorry if this is not the correct platform to ask this question.

 

Im currently planning on joining my girlfriend in Florida Using my ESTA and staying a few months. 
 

If I were to find a job offer with sponsorship for an H-1B visa and take the appropriate steps in applying for the visa. Can I do this from within the USA or would I have to return to Scotland (my home country) while the visa is processed. Appreciate any help. 
 

Thanks 

Ian 

You are not allowed to extend or change status after entering on ESTA, you’d need to return home before your 90 days is up to get a new visa.

Dear All,

 

Just wanted to thank ppl in this group for actively helping with the updates, this was really helpful.

 

Posting my timeline to help others -
 

December 2019: My case was Denied 

January 2020: Filed Notice of Appeal

July 20, 2020: Appeal sustained and the case was sent to originating office (WAC Center)

October 02 2020: Status changed to My case was approved

Now waiting for Approval Notice

 

No updates on this USCIS website so far - https://egov.uscis.gov/casestatus/displayLogon.do

 

I think it took around 75 days to get my status changed to "Approved". This is strictly my timeline and could be different for others, so please be patient.

 

Good luck to all!

 

Cheers!

Hello All,

From last few Months I am following in this group regarding  H1 Denial and the AAO Appeal Was Remanded To The Originating Office For Consideration to USCIS. My case was being sent to the Vermont Service Center and its almost 115 days still now and did not get any updates on this still now.
May I know any one case was sent to the Vermont Service Center and got updates on that.
Please let me know.
