Thread: H1B & Scholarship

I recently got approval on a H1B application that I filed with a U.S. Company. However, last thursday I recieved a full scholarship from a very prestigious University in Europe. After thinking a lot about it for, I decided to take the scholarship.

I told my employer of my desicion and they are still interested in having me working with them after I complete my master's degree in Europe. However, they would prefer not to reject the visa for which I already had approval, but to change the emploment conditions so that I could do some work for them abroad while I get my master's degree, and also be able to travel to the US occasionally when necessary.

My question is: Is that possible at all, or do we have to reject the H1B visa and apply next year?

Thanks

It should be possible; however, I'm not sure if you have to re-apply or can modify the current application.

Thank you,

Do you know who could help me with that issue? Yesterday I called USCIS but I could'nt talk to anyone.

This really isn't my "field" so I couldn't direct you to the correct person, maybe someone on here can give you more details on how to properly move forward on this. Good Luck!
