Possibility of reopening Old H1B case?

[chmahesh1983]

Hi,

 

I got my H1B in the year of 2006 and was valid upto 2009.

But i got an oppourtunity to travel to US in 2008 jan and returned back to India in April 2009 as the H1B validity period ends, and then i got L1B done and travelled back to US.

On whole, As of date. i stayed in US for ~4yrs (1.4yrs on H1B + 2.4yrs on L1B).

Now, here i would like to seek your thought on reopening the case. is it possible?

not likely since 6 yrs have passed since your cap based H-1 approval.

Yes, an employer can file a cap exempt H1B petition to get the remaining years on H1B. Talk to an attorney from Murthy law firm.

Im planning to get this reopening done by other employer. Not the same employer who filed my original H1B? Is this possible?

 

or the same old employer only has the possibility to reopen?

Any employer can file a cap exempt H1B petition.
