An unusual immigration puzzle has left one applicant caught between two approvals. While renewing their H1B visa and submitting their passport for stamping, they received life-changing news- approval of their Green Card.
The twist came when their H1B application status changed to “ refused,” prompting them to book an interview through the U.S. travel portal. With the Green Card expected to arrive in their home country by mail, the applicant now faces a crucial decision: continue with the H1B process or switch to the Green Card.

This situation highlights a rare overlap in immigration timelines. Managing both processes simultaneously isn’t common, and deciding on the next steps require careful consideration. Each option presents its own set of challenges.
One significant concern is the potential for confusion at U.S. immigration upon returning. If they choose to travel using the Green Card while the H1B application is still marked as refused, it could lead to delays or increased scrutiny at the port of entry.

While waiting for it to arrive in the mail, the applicant may find themselves stuck overseas without clear guidance on how to manage both visas. This situation could involve a lot oif waiting and back and forth communication with immigration authorities.
