1. I went for H-1Bhttps://www.mvplawgroup.com/h-1b-visas visa stamping and after my interview, I was given a 221g letter and eventually after a few months, denied. What happens next? Can I go for another interview? Your H-1B petition will likely be returned by the Consulate to the USCIS. The USCIS will then review the Consulate’s report of your interview, along with the petition that was filed. The USCIS will either reaffirm the approval, or issue a Notice of Intent to Revoke. If reaffirmed, you will be able to go for another interview. If a Notice of Intent to Revoke is issued, your employer will need to respond and based on the response, the USCIS will either reaffirm the original approval or revoke the case. If reaffirmed after responding to the Notice of Intent to Revoke, you will be able to go for another interview. If the case is revoked, the case is withdrawn/closed. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/administrative-processing-information.html
2. Can I file the I-129 (H-1B) and I-539 (H4) concurrently online? What are the fees for the H4? You cannot file the I-129 and I-539 concurrently online. You can file the I-129 online and once you receive the receipt, file the I-539 online but you cannot file them simultaneously like you can a paper-based filing. Form I-539 includes a USCIS filing fee of $420.00 if filed online, or $470.00 if paper based. https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/forms/g-1055.pdf
