    OP: new employers, especially if they're cap exempt, may not be able / willing to cover that fee. Thankfully you do not need a second approval for employment to begin, but if you have any international travel planned, then you should be ready to pay it if they are not willing. H-1Bs are straightforward outside of the lottery, so if they're a cap exempt employer, and you need assistance, please reach out It's my day job!

    There have been cases where some employees (research scholar is what we sponsor) have not been sure as the consulate officer has failed to mark the box on their DS2019 and also the passport visa does not reflect it, however, in those cases where there is uncertainty you must request an Advisory Opinion from the Dept. of State.

    I am so so sorry you had such an awful experience!! There was no need for her to be so rude to you. Not being able to provide a DEPENDENT ID without a social is ridiculous. I still don't have my social on their system (it's been 3 years, but i will do it when i renew next year). Go back with the SSN in two weeks, plus her passport and a translated birth cert (you should have that already from the immigrant petition / adjustment of status?) and your marriage cert. Best of luck!!

    Did you pay the fines? Unless they were over $500, I would not be worried.

    Without military orders, you can't request an accommodation based on possibility unfortunately. I hope for your sake that your spouse does not get deployed.

    If you get a new employer, they should file a new H1B for you. If you have an active H1B, they would file it as “change of employer”, but you need an approval before actually coming to the US and beginning employment. So you have been working from India for a U.S. company since last year? What address is on your LCA?

    Also, apologies I didn't address this right away. Once they understood the error, they submitted a request for withdrawal of the AOS, to keep everything compliant. I don't know what acknowledgement they received or when they received any (if they did). Either way, the AOS will be abandoned when you are a no show for an eventual interview.

    CR1 took just over 12 months. They also reached out to their congressman who may have helped expedite as her husband was Active Duty and they made a case based on that. She travelled without even receiving her EAD, she was totally misinformed and thought her receipt notice was enough (!!!!). To this day, I don't know why she didn't just ask me, but alas!

    Hi Antonio, a friend of mine from Germany was in a similar situation. They ended up having to file the CR1. It did take some time, but the upside is having your GC when you arrive, rather than have that waiting game continue. The advice given so far is sound. It's an unfortunate situation but happens!

    Hey, i know its way late, but I also got my DoD ID without an SSN. I got that 3 years ago and have yet to add it to my DoD information >< (I need to make the trip though), haven't had any issues with tricare whatsoever or base access.
