vinayk82 Posted September 15, 2015 Report Posted September 15, 2015 Hi, I was working in the US for a company on L1B visa. I have exhausted my 5 year limit of L1B and am currently outside the US working at the offshore office for the same company. My Perm was approved recently and the I-140 will be filed soon. Assuming that there will always be a lottery system for the H1 visa, I do not want to rely only on that. Once my I-140 is approved, can I file for an H1 visa separately with USCIS outside the cap of 65000 or do I need to apply within the quota itself? Thanks!
JoeF Posted September 15, 2015 Report Posted September 15, 2015 If you never had an H1, it would have to be filed under the quota.
jairichi Posted September 15, 2015 Report Posted September 15, 2015 Nope. You need to be cap counted at least once.
