H1 to h4 to h1

[nithyaa.k7]

Hi,

I got my h1b approved in 2010, though I never used it and had to change to h4 because of a travel. Is it possible to recapture? It expired on sep 2012.

Thanks

Yes, a new employer can file a cap exempt H1B petition anytime and on approval you can join employer and you get 6 years.
