its approved wihtout i-94......lawyer said i can go out to re-activate h1b.....
BUT he doesn't recommend that because I have never been out of us with h1b and he feel my chance to be background-checked is very high (I am gonna lose job if i can't get back soon). Does he sound rihgt about this?
-If your major/working area is sensitive such as chemistry, biomedical engineering, etc., you may not go out of US to get the H1 visa. If your major/working area is not sensitive, you may be OK to get the visa.
and what's the difference between Motion to Reopen/Reconsideration and appeal?
- Motion to Reopen/Reconsideration (MTR) will be processed by USCIS (within USCIS) and this may only take one to two months, But Appeal will be processed by Administrative Appeals Office (AAO) (outside USCIS) and this process may take one year or more. YOur lawyer should know it. Your case is very simple and I think MTR is enough.
