Hi i need some advice on H1B transfer. I am currently working on H1b with employer A , and he gave me original i-94 but not sharing I797 A approval no

Your employer is not required by law to give you a complete copy of the I-797A approval sheet of your H-1B. However, he is supposed to give you the entire lower portion with both the left and the right sides. The right side is the I-94 (as you know), and the left side identifies the petitioner and the validity date of the H-1B. According to the legend on the I-797A, the employer should keep the upper portion of the form and the lower portion should be given to the worker. The right side should be with the I-94 arrival – departure record; the left side can be used in applying for a new visa. So if you are applying for a change of employer, you should be able to show the information on the lower portion of the I-797A to identify your current employer and the dates of validity of the petition.Due to the limitations of the Lawyers.com Forums, Alan Lee, Esq.'s (the "Firm") participation in responding to questions posted herein does not constitute legal advice, nor legal representation of the person or entity posting a question.
