H1B Cancelled without Prudence and Re-stamping

[fatelist]

I am a Canadian resident and I recently went for B1/B2 interview in Ottawa. My B1/B2 was granted but my existing H1B ( valid one) was stamped - Cancelled without Prejudice ( I was not expecting this ) . I wanted to go back to States to do some renovation on my home and I honestly told that to the officer. 

Fortunately/Unfortunately I got my new H1B approved day after I went for interview. I went for B1/B2 since both of my H1 extensions in the past went for RFE and I wanted a way to go to states in case it happens this time. 

Given I am going for H1B interview in less than a month - will this cause any problems? I have not travelled to US after getting my visa and not planning to do that either. Any suggestions or issues anyone can think of ?

It is normal that they cancel old visas. Since it was without prejudice, i.e., just an administrative cancellation, nothing wrong on your side, getting a new H1 visa should not be a problem.

You are good to get new H1B visa stamping. When you go to visa interview and when they issue new visa they cancel all old existing or invalid visas and stamp them as Cancelled without Prejudice .. This is normal and will happen to almost everyone

@JoeF @gopalakrishnach Thanks for the reply.

Few Questions:

1. Does this apply if you go for an L1 visa interview and your H1-B gets cancelled (which is eligible for cap-exempt)?

Can cap-exempt petition be filed later on this cancelled H1-B?

2. If a person has valid B1/B2 visa and later gets his H1-B (cap-exempt) approved, does his valid B1/B2 gets cancelled?

3. Are only invalid/expired visas cancelled or are valid visas also cancelled ?

Is there any condition that permits only 1 visa should be valid at any time?
