Hi,
I have applied for H-1B in 2012 going through the CAP with company A. I got approval notice from California Service Center I-797B only on October 1st 2012 .I did not use the H1-B at all - meaning did not go to consulate to get stamping done and of course it is now expired.
I have checked with my current company about this petition and they told me that I can’t use it any more as it’s expired and transfer in India not possible.The status was still case was approved
I came to US on L1B now.
-
Can I use this existing petition and apply for transfer in US?
-
Is it possible to change the status from L1B to H1B
-
How many more grace years it have?
Any help regarding this will be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Lokesh.
