Regd. reviving H1B

[amitarora4]

Hi

I had a H1b petition which was filed in 2006 and expired in 2009. I had got my H1B visa also but never travelled against it. The visa got expired in 2009.

 

I understand that the Visa can be reapplied and doesn't count under the cap, if someone already travelled on the same.

 

My question is that can I use the expired petition to file for a new H1B petition, though I never travelled on the same.

Thanks,

Amit

I believe you can. Of course your H1 sponsor needs to file the petition and not you. Spend some money on a Lawyer so that you can speak to potential H1 sponsors from a position of well informed strength.

Thank you for the quick reply. Can you please help me understand what kind of questions I should ask from Lawyer, so that it may help me in negotiating with the H1B Sponsors.

 

Also, it would be great if you can refer me immigration Lawyer contact, I am ready to pay the reasonable fees (from India) for his time.

 

Thanks,

Amit
