columbus_ohio_2013 Posted September 12, 2013 Report Share Posted September 12, 2013 Hi, Here is my case:- - My H1B was approved by Company A for FY 2006-2007 quote (it was approved on MAY 6TH 2006) and I have the I797 copy for it which has a receipt number - I never took employment offer from Company A and therefore I never used this H1B and never even stamped it. - In order to pursue me to join them, Company A had written to me that they will cancel my H1B petition, which I am not sure if they did. But I have the approved H1B petition i.e. I717 copy with me, which has a receipt number on it as well. - I am currently in US on a L1B blanket visa for company B valid until June 2015 Here are my questions:- 1. Employer C wants to hire me. Can they use my prior approved H1B (through company A) to reapply for a NEW H1B which will be cap-exempt? Many thanks in advance for your response. Regards, Link to comment

Regards, There is confusion in this forum about filing a cap exempt petition 6 years after initial H1B petition approval. Contact an attorney at Murthy firm. Link to comment
