In H4 But has valid H1B

[parvathy]

Hi,

I am currently in US with an H4 visa.

I also have an H1b visa stamped which was taken by my previous employer. When i resigned the job to come to the US the I-797 was taken back by the employer.

The H1b visa stamped in my passport says it is valid till Sept 2014. I have not previouslyl worked in US, So i don't have a SSN.

Is my H1b visa still valid? What options do i have to search for a job in the US

 

Thanks

A new employer can file a cap exempt petition and on approval you can begin to work immediately

the previous H1B is not valid...but if you get a new job..your new employer can file for your H1 immediately without waiting for the quota.
