can i get fresh six years after visa stamping using old quota if i do not travel

[h12345]

hi friends

i worked in US from March 2007 through July 2011 and came back to India

company A is willing to transfer my visa without being subject to cap, however i will get only remaining 1.5 years

if visa is stamped from company A and i do not travel to US, can company B sponsor me subject to cap so that i will get fresh 6 years?

waiting for the response, please help

thanks for your help

B can file in April for a start date after October and get you a potential new 6 years.

thanks a lot for the same

just to confirm, company B can file for fresh 6 years EVEN IF i got stamping done by Company A in 2013 but have been outside US for more than 1 year)

Stamping the H1 visa implies an approved H1 petition, an available job and the latest documentation. When did your Previous H1 petition expire?

previous petition will expire in March 2013 but i could not get visa using it due to employee-employer relationship, that job is not available anymore, client allow me to work for few months only from offshore

company A (big company) is willing to file for an extension now but am confused if i should go for it or better to wait for sponsorship under new qouta

since i have spent more than an year, i would prefer getting an h1b under new quota but am not sure if i will be able to get sponsorship from big company again by April 01

thanks again for your help, wish you a very Happy New Year !
