Can a new employer use my expired H1B petition(2012-2015) to file a new cap-exempt H1B petition?

I have an approved H1B petition that is just expired. I got that through a Consultancy back in 2012 (valid 2012-2015), but haven’t gone for Visa Stamping due to personal reasons and so never worked in the US. I hear that using this petition another employer can file a cap-exempt new H1B petition ,though I have not worked in the USA using H1B in the past.Is it possible for a new employer to file a cap-exempt H1B petition using my expired petition so that I can travel to the US and work there this year if recruited ?

I read from lot of forums that new employer can file a cap-exempt H1B petition within 6 years from the filing/approval of old petition. How to verify this info? Where we can get the official USICS info on this 6 year clock. Please help out. In 2007 time frame, the validitity of H1B petitio would be 6 years, but after 2012 onwards it used to be 3 years. So, still the 6 years clock is valid even today?

Thanks.

Yes, your new employer can file a cap-exempt H1B petition based on your old petition. This is basically known as H1B transfer. Mine was the same case.

Thanks. When was your old petition filed and when the old one was expired? I know around 2007 time frames if a petition had been filed in those years, it would be valid for 6 years. But is that true even for petition that have been filed around 2012 time frame as in my case?

Hi
Can you please provide you email id.
I have got approved H1B PETITION (not approved h1b Visa)f rom an Indian company for 2014 h1b quota, which has office based out of Texas, USA. I went to H1b VISA interview in the month of 2015 April. It was kept under administrative processing for couple of months post interview and finally VISA got refused with - OF-194 notice stating " Consular investigation revealed that there is no qualifying employment for the beneficiary".

I am working in India and never went to USA. My H1b petition approved and expired by October 2017 (valid for 3 years from 2014 October)

Now I am much worried about my future, what are options I have now to get approved h1b visa? can you please advise? I am very great full to you to take your ample time to advise me.

can I transfer my approved h1b petition from petitioner company A to another Employer B while in India and can i attend one more H1b VISA interview with fresh DS160 application and client letter rendered by new employer B? If so can you please let me know the process and reference and guidelines?

Thank you
