  • Using a old h1b petition without going into 2013 quota

    Hi,

    I came to US on year 2004 in L1. I stayed till year 2009 on L1B. (5.2 years)

    I got my H1B on year 2009 October and I worked on H1B still 2010 June. (8 Months)

    I am in india for past 2.5 years. Now, can I use the old H1B petition to apply for H1, without waiting for next year quota ? Or my stay in L1B before H1 status conversion will stop me from using the old petition ?

    Please clarify.

    Thanks
    Kamaraj

    You may do that, but you will have very little time left on that cap. Any time spent in the US in L1 and H1 status will count towards hte 6 year limit.
    This is my opinion and not legal advice.
