sanisani Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 Dear Sirs, Here is my case: My prospective employer had filed H1b petition in 2008 and got it approved. It expired in 2011 Sept. I had never used it for US travel. I did not try to stamp it. (1) An unstamped H1b petition (if NOT expired/ if expired) can be transferred to a new emplyer ? any complications involved? (2) Is my un stamped petition eligible for cap exception . I read from forums and other articles that if a petition is not utilized , with in 6 years of approval one should be eligible for out of cap exceptions. Can some one clarify this? (3) What is the best use of my un-stamped petition , if want to travel to US on H1 b ? On searching the internet forums I found conflicting answers. I wanted to clarify these through this forum.

pontevecchio Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 The steps involved if you want to comew over to work in H1 status are firstly to have a H1 sponsor file and get your H1 non cap petition approved and then you get the visa and come over. Link to comment
sanisani Posted October 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 Thank you for the reply. The new employer/h1 sponsor will get any benefits on utilizing my old petition? Will there be petition fee exception ? Anyways cap excemption is a good thing. Link to comment
