abhishek.mangipudi Posted February 26, 2015 Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 Here is the below situation on my H1B, I request you to please suggest, based on the below situation: - H1B extended last year and is valid upto July 03, 2015 - No stamping done after extension - Quit company on Dec 15, 2014 and moved out of the U.S. In the above situation, can I know whether my petition is still valid, if I manage to get a new job offer? If it is possible, do I have to get another job offer before my H1B expires, or is it ok to get a job offer with starting date- after the visa expiry also ? I request you to please clarify the above aspects. Regards Abhishek Link to comment
jairichi Posted February 26, 2015 Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 Yes, you will be considered cap exempt if you have not reached the max allowed stay of 6 years on H1B. It can be done anytime. Link to comment

abhishek.mangipudi Posted March 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2015 Jai My H1B extension was there only till July 03, 2015. So, do I have to make sure that I get a job offer before this date, for my petition to be valid, or it doesn't matter ? Can you please clarify this for me. Regards Abhishek Link to comment

abhishek.mangipudi Posted March 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 Thanks for your response Jai. I have another quick question regarding my B1/B2 Visa. My employer has sponsored me a B1/B2 Visa(in 2011) valid until 2021. I have traveled once for a Business visit in 2011 on the B1 Visa. After that, I have entered U.S. on a H1 Visa and then moved out of U.S. to Canada after resigning from my employer. Now, if I want to visit my family in the U.S. for a personal trip, can I use the same B1/B2 visa which my employer has issued in 2011 ? - Its validity is still there - I have quit my company that sponsored my B1/B2. If I choose to enter U.S. by road, can I use that visa ? and is there anything that I need to prepare at the border or carry any documentation ? Thanks in advance. Regards Abhishek Link to comment

Regards Abhishek Yes, you can use the B2 visa for visit. No issue at all. Confirmed stay and return itinerary. Link to comment
pingpong Posted March 29, 2015 Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 B visa is intended for business/tourism. Its not bound to an employer. While you are at the check in agent make sure u let them know that you will be using your B visa. Also and POE make sure you are ready to explain to the entry officer that you intention is only to visit family. Link to comment
