H1B cap exemption eligibility question, please help.

Hello All,

Here is my situation..

 

I had H1B and worked in US for 1.5yrs. I returned to india in June 2012 thinking I would travel back to US and file an extention before my VISA expires. As per plan I got my VISA stamped in Sept 2012, but I could NOT travel back to US and my VISA got expired on Oct 25th 2012. 

 

Now I'm planning to try H1B..request your ans for below ques...

 

1) Am I eligible for cap exempt?

2) If yes, can I file H1B under cap exempt from a new employer? I have all the previous petition docs.

3) is there a specific time period to file H1B under cap exempt?

 

Pls help

Thanks in Advance.

Hello SnowWinter, Sourabh…

When I see my last case status…it shows below message.

“On MMM DD, 2013, the previous decision made on your case was revoked and we mailed you a notice explaining the decision…blah blah”

  1. Does it mean, it has been revoked by my previous employer?
  2. Am I still eligible for H1B cap-Exempt? I have previously approved I797.

Thank you.
