GRSV Posted January 23, 2020 Report Share Posted January 23, 2020 Hi, I have got my H1B approved in Oct 2017 through consular process so I just got an approved I-797B. Due to some reasons I neither moved to H1 status nor activated my H1 and I have always been on H4 status. Yesterday, I received an e-mail from USCIS stating their intent to revoke my approved H1. My question is: After my H1 is revoked, if I wish to change to H1 status in future will it be a cap exempt or do I need to get it done as a fresh H1(going through lottery)? Quote Link to comment
User099 Posted January 24, 2020 Report Share Posted January 24, 2020 Most likely you will be subject to cap again and have to go thought the lottery again. Quote Link to comment
gopalakrishnach Posted January 24, 2020 Report Share Posted January 24, 2020 You will be in lottery for simple fact that you never started your H1B and you were never on H1B and even your first old H1B is revoked. Quote Link to comment
GRSV Posted January 29, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2020 Thank you for the reply. So, there is no way to get my H1 done as a cap-exempt? I read this from one of the forums: “IF H1b has been picked in the lottery in the last 6 years (regardless of approved or revoked), the petitioner wont be subject to the lottery again.“ Isn’t this information correct?
