H1B expired in Oct 2012 - Cap exempt??

[Diorsdune]

Hi,

 

> My previous employer - 'employer A' had applied for an H1B extension in Oct 2011 which was approved until Sept 2013. However, I went for a stamping in early 2012 & it was "Denied" after Administrative processing. (I was in US from May'08 until Jan' 2011 on H1b with company A.)

 

> My approved H1B petition from 'employer B' was valid until Oct 2012. I didn't go for a stamping on it. (I did not work for Employer B)

 

1) Please can an expert confirm if I am currently CAP exempt. Can employer C file for a 'New' Cap exempt petition/is H1B transfer an option I can currently pursue?

 

2) How long will 'I' be/was cap exempt for (mm/yy) given the specific details above?

 

3) If I am cap exempt can I expect can I be eligible for a full 3 yr H1b term again?

 

3) I would appreciate if you can also explain how cap exemption actually works.

 

Thank you!!

If you have not utilized 6 years of maximum allowed on H1B you are cap exempt.
