seeenu0105 Posted June 1, 2014 Report Share Posted June 1, 2014 Friends , I need some help . A friend of mine has applied for h1b long ago and got approved. The i797 says h1b was approved from 01-Oct-2008 to 30-Sep-2011. But for some reason he never went for visa and he was never in USA today . My questions are 1. Can he reapply for h1b with out going through the cap and lottery system ? 2. Is the h1b going to expire by 30 sep 2014 ( which is 6 years from the day its issued). If it going to expire then he has to apply for another approval before 30-sep-2014. I remember if we were on h1b for 6 years in USA and you dont applied for GC then youhave to go back to your country stay there for 1 year and apply for h1b at that point you have to go through the cap . All he and me want to see if he can use his old h1b approval and skip the lottery system or not ?. Thanks Sri. Link to comment
