Hello All,
I am having an expired H1B visa for which the petition was filed in year 2007 and stamping was done in 2008. I have never used the visa and the visa as well as the petition got expired in 2010.
Until now I was under a ( probably mistaken ) understanding that H1 B can be reused only if the petition was approved within last 6 years and some sources even suggest that the petition must have been valid in last 6 years, so there does seem to be different kinds of interpretations to the six year rule and finally I am seeing in some posts that the 6 years rule is only applicable as far as the time left on your petition is concerned and is not applicable in any other way. I came to know through various sources in internet and also here on immihelp.com that it is possible to use expired h1b at anytime if you have unused time left in it.
In this post I want to see if there is a clear cut understanding about this issue. Is there a definitive answer to this question.
I am trying to get in touch with someone who has knowledge about it w.r.t filing under a CAP EXEMPT category.
I would like to get connected with people in similar situation to collectively resolve this issue. I would like to request people in similar situation may send me a Private message.
Thanks
