H1B Re-application after rejection

[atulupare]

Hi All,

My H1B visa was recently rejected from Singapore.

My prospective employer intends to file a fresh H1 this year itself. However I told him that the H1 cap for this year had already been reached.

He said that since I faced a rejection, it allowed him to fill that H1 number with a fresh petition (lets say he applied successfully for 5 petitions and 2 faced visa rejections - meaning he can file 2 fresh petitions again).

Is this true?

Thanks for your help.

Regards,

Atul
