I have been here for almost 9 years, finished my masters and got employed through a consultancy. I have been working for last 7 years as a programmer but no luck with H1-GC route. So, currently I work for a big company thru consultancy. Recently, consultancy processed my H1 petition. USCIS requested for RFEs and the lawyer working for the consultancy sent documents. But my h1 got denied because the company(not the consultancy) i work for forgot to sign the document/missed signature that stated I am working for them (acc. to the lawyer). H1 got denied and neither the lawyer nor consultancy informed me back about the denial. By the time checked my status myself, I found out that I have been out of status for 15 days already and asked them why I was not informed. Now, the lawyer says that it was because of the company I work for had no signature on the paper. I have been out of status now and the lawyer has been working out and now have sent the signed paper and all other RFEs stating the mistake made again requesting for the petition to be reviewed.
I have to wait next 15 days for the response from immigration.So, now what are my options to stay here? I don't have status, how they are going to change my status to F-1 when I have no status? Any other options to stay here? TPS or asylum is no option for me.
