t75 Posted May 4, 2014 Report Share Posted May 4, 2014 Are you working for you old employer? You entered illegally using the old approval if you are not actively employed with that sponsor. Link to comment

If you have used the max allowed stay of 6 years on H1B then you need to stay outside US for 365 days before a cap subject H1B petition could be filed to get fresh 6 years. Link to comment
