What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? California
I am on H1 visa and got an offer from new company who filed my H1 transfer. After submitting my visa papers to the new company I submitted my indian passport for renewal at SFO indian embassy as it is to expire in mid july. I had informed the legal team/HR of the new firm about this.
Now on first day at work in new company they are asking to furnish original passport to start work. I resigned from my old firm 2 days before first day at new firm. Is driver's license(identity proof) and I-797(work authorization proof) not sufficient to join a new firm after they have filed for H1 transfer.
The problem is indian embassy is processing the passport renewal application since 3 weeks and there is as such no process to withdraw the passport. I am running everyday to SFO Indian embassy. My joining date has been moved by a week but how long will a company wait? Can I get help fom law here.
Also there are laws that no one can stay on H1 visa without a payroll running more than 2 weeks. What to do now..is there a way I can join the firm and produce the original passport in a week or two?
