siddhartharai Posted May 25, 2016 Report Share Posted May 25, 2016 Hi, I was in india when h1b (without cos) was applied for me and it was approved (valid till 2017) after few months after I came to usa on f1 visa. currently i am working on opt. Now if i want to move to h1b status, does my employer just need to apply change of status for me (without me going to india) or do i need to go to india for stamping? Link to comment

COS within US is nothing but a new H1 but cap exempt. Link to comment
siddhartharai Posted May 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2016 Thanks for the reply So given the scenario that I was never on h1 status even though I had h1b approval, am i cap exempt ? If i am cap exempt, am i cap exempt only with the employer with whom I have approved H1b or any employer can apply cap exempt h1b for me? Link to comment

I think it will be cap exempt only for that employer, not sure here. Link to comment
pontevecchio Posted May 26, 2016 Report Share Posted May 26, 2016 If your H1 petition was approved a couple of years back, please talk to the firm of Murthy. Why would an employer file your H1 petition and not expect you to join him? Link to comment
siddhartharai Posted May 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2016 ohk. Thanks. Anyone else have any idea about this? Link to comment
