chicago34567 Posted January 23, 2013 Report Posted January 23, 2013 Hi All, Please see my scenario below: 1) My H1B visa was stamped in Oct 2006 with a validity until April 26th 2009. Sponsor is Company A. 2) I came to US for the company A in Oct 2007 and went back to India on Sep 2008. 3) I was in India with the company A for 2 years and came back again to US in Oct 2010 in L1B VISA(for company A). Currently I am in US. Validity for my L1B visa is until April 2013. If I get an offer from sponsor B, please help me clarifying the below questions 1) Can sponsor B apply a new petition for me as cap-exempt using the H1B remainder option? 2) If remainder option is eligible for me, once the H1 petition is approved, can I start work immediately? 3) Until when (any deadline) this remiander option can be used for my H1? Your answers will help me a lot. Kindly help me. Thanks in advance!!
wiweq Posted January 23, 2013 Report Posted January 23, 2013 You have total 6 years of cap for H1b + L1 time. New employer can file H1b for you for remaining time of above 6 years. This will be cap exempt and no need to wait for Oct 1st. Because it will be COS you can't start working on receipt, but to wait till approval.
