Hello community
I have several questions regarding this visa. Unfortunately, is a specific visa only available for Chilean and Singapore citizens, and not so many lawyers know about the visa.
I already got my visa approved. But the processing time took so long, that my employer decide to hire someone else to take my position in the company 2 days before my visa was granted.
My questions are the following:
1.- Can I travel to the US to sell my car, and close my bank account using this visa without working inside the US? (Apply for the ESTA is impossible, as I got refusal twice last year) (Apply for a B1 visa is impossible at this time, as the nearest appointment for B1 in my country is Dec 2024)
2.- Can this visa be transferred to a new employer? UCSI website said yes, but how long the process would take?
3.- Do the new employer will need to submit an LCA?
4.- What document will I need to submit in order to transfer my H-1B1 to a new employer?
5.- What would happen if the employer who backed up the petition of my H-1B1 does not submit the I-9? I am allowed to submit the I-9 form myself?
Hoping someone can give some recent feedback about this visa and the options I currently have.
Many thanks in advance!
Cheers!
