H1-B quota

[tsrajkumar80]

My wife worked under h1-B for almost 3 years, resigned her job and moved into H-4. She is back in the job market now. If she finds a job now, will she fall under the regular quota and hence have to wait till next year to start the job or will it be like a regular transfer as she had a H1-B in the past? Thanks.

She is cap exempt and an employer can file a cap exempt H1B petition along with COS anytime and on approval she can start to work immediately.

She is cap exempt. Her employer can file H1 any time.

A new H1 would not be subject to the quota.

Going by above information..Any employer can file a cap-exempt petition and it basically be a COS from H4 to H1.She is good to start once her H1 is approved
