US Employer’s Ignorance Revokes H-1B After Stamping

An H 1B worker says their approved petition was later revoked, not due to fraud or job loss, but because of an employer’s administrative mistake. You can see how the situation has left the worker facing serious uncertainty.

Notice of Intent to Revoke

The US firm filed the H 1B petition a few years ago, and it was approved soon after. Later, the US Citizenship and Immigration Services issued a Notice of Intent to Revoke, saying the employer’s filing payment had failed.

Employer Did Not Respond

The worker says the employer never responded to the notice. They were also not informed about the issue at the time. You can see how this lack of communication created bigger problems later.

Visa Issued Despite Issue

Almost a year later, the worker attended an H 1B visa interview at a US consulate. Since the system still showed the petition as approved, the visa stamp was issued without any objection.

Revocation After Entry

Months later, USCIS formally revoked the petition, citing no response to the NOIR. By then, the worker was already in the United States and only recently learned about the revocation decision.

No Notice to Appear Yet

The worker says they have not received a Notice to Appear even after four months. The employer later admitted the bounced payment was an administrative error, but the delay has complicated the situation.

Worker Left in Limbo

This case highlights gaps in coordination between agencies. A petition under NOIR still appeared approved at the consulate stage. You can see how the worker now faces uncertainty despite no personal fault.
