android.dmk Posted March 18, 2016 Report Share Posted March 18, 2016 I have been on H1 B and employed since Oct 2015. Due to certain circumstances I'm thinking of cancelling my H1 B status now and thinking on getting back to H4 visa status temporarily. Couple of months later can I reinstate H1 B work visa status? If so - 1. Will I be subject to the H1 B cap / lottery selection again? 2. How long to I have to be outside USA in order to reinstate H1 B again? 3. What is the process of reinstating the H1 B visa? 4. Would the pending time from my previous H1 B status continue? Or would a fresh set of 6 years apply? Please help me with your responses. I'm torn between wanting to cancel H1 and sustaining it. Thanks. Link to comment
JoeF Posted March 18, 2016 Report Share Posted March 18, 2016 The employer would have to file (and pay for) a new H1 petition. It would not be in the quota, since you already have been counted for the quota. Link to comment
