pontevecchio Posted March 22, 2017 Report Share Posted March 22, 2017 The rules have changed and you will have to go through the cap once again. Of course you may choose to confirm this with a lawyer. Link to comment
sandiego Posted March 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2017 cap once ?? do you mean to say apply one more to time in H1B lottery pick and selected or reapply my expired petition visa ? Appreciate your response Link to comment
pontevecchio Posted March 22, 2017 Report Share Posted March 22, 2017 You will need to go through the lottery. Link to comment
JoeF Posted March 23, 2017 Report Share Posted March 23, 2017 Nowadays, if you don't start working on the H1, you are not considered counted for the quota. However, the rule was only clarified by USCIS in 2015 (if I remember right), so it may or may not apply to you. Discuss your situation with a good immigration lawyer. Link to comment
sandiego Posted March 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2017 could you please point me USCIS rule mentioning the same info, Link to comment
