I-797B validity

[kvsr10]

Hi All,

In 2008 my employer filed H1b petition. I got approval of I-797B.

 

Below are the dates

Notice date June30,2008

Valid from 10/01/2008 to 03/27/2011

 

But I didn’t go for visa stamping subsequently I have changed the company. Recently I have requested previous company to file h1b they  informed me  that filling is not required  for my case. I am under the CAP exemption category. I have the below queries.

 

 

1) Am I under cap exemption category?

2) If it is when should I go for VISA stamping?

3) What will be the expiry date for   I-797B

 

 

Thanks Advance

1. Yes.

2. If you have a valid H1B petition.

3. Your I797 has already expired.

 

An employer has to file a cap exempt H1B petition and get it approved.

You need to find a new employer...it seems like he does not know anything...or maybe he does not remember the dates.

 

Your employer would need to file a new H1B...and yes you are CAP Exempt.

Yes, you are cap exempt. But you need new 797 for visa. Your employer has to file new H1 under cap exempt.
