Procedure for using the h1 approved in 2008

[sunsan_murthy]

Hi,

I have a H1 approved (fallen under CAP) in year 2008. But I had never used it as I returned to India.

Now I am back on H4.

How I can use this H1, that I obtained in 2008.

DO I have to fall under CAP again ?

What if I have to start working in Oct 2012? Can i reuse this H1?

Please help.

Thanks

Sunsan

Your 2008 CAP counted H1B will be helpfull for an employer to file H1B under cap exempt for you .

Your employer must file H1B requesting COS from H4 to H1,

YOu can start working only after H1B is approved with COS.
