H1B Transfer after visa refusal

[ramky123]

Hi,

I had a new H1 petition approved in Nov-2011 ( valid till Sep-2014). When I went to H1 stamping and received a 221g to submit some additional documents related to the petitioner/client. After submitting all the docs I received a letter from the consulate stating that my visa is refused and the petition is sent to USICS for further review. I guess they had refused my visa as they had some doubt on the company since it is a small indian consulting company.

Now I want to apply H1 from another US based multi-national company. Is is possible for the new company to apply for a cap exempt H1 transfer now using the same petition? I have never worked in US on H1 before.

Thanks!!

Yes, they can file cap-exempt for you. Provide them with a copy of the previous approval notice.
