kalesh Posted August 20, 2019 Report Share Posted August 20, 2019 Hi Team, I got H1-B petition approved in 2016 through my previous employer. But I never travelled on H1-B to USA through the old company. The original I-797 petition is with my previous employer, but I have a copy of the petition. I also have a B1/B2 visa and have travelled on this visa. Please help with the following queries: 1. Is it necessary for me to have the original H1-B petition with me (which I may not get from my previous employer) ? If yes, can I apply for duplicate? 2. Am I eligible for cap-exempt H1-B ? 3. Will having a B1/B2 visa help me in any way to activate my approved previous H1-B? Thanks, Kalesh Quote Link to comment
JoeF Posted August 20, 2019 Report Share Posted August 20, 2019 Since you never worked for the employer on the H1 you are not considered counted in the quota. You are not cap-exempt. Quote Link to comment
