An H-1B applicant faces a devastating setback after their employer mistakenly withdrew their job application. The error came to light during the scheduled visa interview, leaving them stranded and separated from their child.
Employer’s mistake
The Indian-owned IT firm assumed the applicant had left the company. This mistake meant they were working and getting paid without a valid I-797A Notice of Action form. The error has put their immigration status at risk.
Case put on hold
At the interview, the officer instructed the company to file a fresh I-797A. The HR department delayed the filing by more than 20 days, worsening the situation and leaving the applicant stuck without clarity on their future.
Considering legal action
After repeated errors, the applicant is weighing legal action against their employer. Immigration lawyers advise hiring an attorney immediately to safeguard their status and prevent further complications with USCIS.
Emotional toll
The applicant now suffers immense stress. Corporate negligence has caused separation from their ten-year-old child. The case shows how one company’s carelessness can destroy lives and leave families broken apart.
