Moving to Previous Employer H1B tranfr Needed ?

[gopim]

Hi All,

Need information in moving to old employer.apprecite ur help.

I was working for company A in 2012 and I had valid H1B Approval until 2012 with Company A.

In 2012 October I got Fulltime Offer and transferred my H1B to company B and working now for the same company.

Unfortunately due to company mergers there will be laid offs in December 2013 in the current company.

In case of Laid Off I wanted to move back to Company A which got my valid H1B until Sept 2013.

Can I move to company A in December 2013/January 2014 even though my H1B with company A Expires in Sept 2013 without any H1 Transfer or do I need to again Transfer my H1B to company A?

Appreciate ur help

Because the employer-employee relationship was broken in Oct 2012, company A needs to file your H1b again. Doesn't matter if they revoked your H1b or not. It's required by law to revoke the H1b, once beneficiary departs.

H1 transfer is required.
