Petition expired/revoked stamping not done. Expired since 2019. Am i quota exempt?

[Ajay_jani]

After lottery I received my approval of petition i797 in the year 2016.
it got revoked in 2019. 
 stamping not done that time as the situation wasnt very favourable for h1b.
If i want to reapply.  Am i quota exempt?

 

impotant to note that i never have travelled outside of india yet.

what are the ways i could proceed to ensure i can procure h1b. 
i am 43 yr old data storage techie on the infrastructure side of things.

By strict wording of the laws you are not cap-exempt, but we are not in a dystopia that laws automatically enforce themselves. USCIS had records considering people like you as cap-exempt, and so I’d say it’s worth a try.

Different attorneys have different views on how this H1b can be handled.  If you have an employer willing to transfer this H1b then give it a shot.  Also get into this year's lottery registration expiring Noon of March 17th, as a backup.  Good Luck.
