Switching from H4 EAD to H1B

[Sonu K]

I have valid H1B till Nov 2017, it was never stamped and have still 6 years remaining on it. but I am planning to switch on H4 EAD and will work on H4 EAD.

But in future lets say Jan 2018, I want to switch from H4 to H1B again (where H1B already crossed it date that was Nov 2017), will I be able to switch.

Can it be filed in Cap exemption?

Yes, you can.

Is it true that I can switch from H4 EAD to H1B again in cap exemption even in case I ahve fresh H1B which is never stamped and crossed its validity period( Nov 2017 ) but 6 years are still remaining on it?

What will be the Fee?

A visa is an entry document. It has no meaning while in the US.

The status in the US is shown on the I-94. If you have been in H1 status in the previous 6 years and have not used all the time, you don't fall under the cap.

The employer has to pay for an H1 petition. The fees for you are $0.
