Regarding H1-B renewal process

[Sudhee]

This is regarding renewal process and i am planning to go for H1B renewal process by using my old petition .

 

My petition was approved in 2007 and  my visa got stamped in Sep 2007. I was in US during the period from Dec-2007 to Nov -2008 and it got expired in 2010.

 

Now I wish to come to US , there are few  queries in mind , someone can advise on this .

 

1. Am i eligible for renewal process ?

2.Can i goahead with new a H1B renewal by using my old old CAP since so far i spent 1 year only in US? 

3. If so, what is the process for filing a new petition and the approximate time span? 

4. Current working company  and  old petition filed company, both are different , Is there any concern with companies ?

 

All please advise and replies are appreciated!

 

Thanks

You are entitled to 5.1 years in H1 status. Your terminology is all over the place. ANY company eligible to file a H1b petition for you can do so. The time span varies. PP takes about 3 weeks for a response.

1. Yes.

2. Yes

3. New employer files a cap exempt H1B petition. Regular processing more than 4 months and premium processing 15 calendar days.

4. No. New company has to file cap exempt H1B petition.
