H1 Validity: Visa expired and not travelled to US. Whether I am eligible for quota exemption?

[satya.mokalla]

Hello Sir,

 

I got H1 stamping and the validity was from 2009 sep to 2011 November.

 

I never traveled to US till now. Whether I am eligible for exemption for quota and go for direct H1 stamping?

 

What are the options available for me now?

 

My i797 was picked in 2008 quota.

 

Regards,

Satya.
