Please find my visa statuses below:
1) Sept 2007 -- Initial entry on L1B Blanket through employer A, and it was valid up to Sept 2009
2) April 2009 - Applied for H1B with Consular processing (without Change of status), while continuing with employer A.
H1B Approved until Oct 2009 to Sept 2012 through employer B, but did not join.
3) Sept 2009 - L1B Blanket Extension through employer A itself, Valid up to Sept 2012
4) Sept 2010 - Quit employer A, went on H4 and continue on H4 till date .
So,I haven't used the H1B at all that was approved from Oct 2009-Sept 2012 and It has been cancelled/revoked by Employer B later (may be 2011 or 2012). Therefore, I have been on L1B for 3 years and on H4 for 3+ years in US. I would like to know if Employer B/new employer sponsors a H1B now, is it a H1B transfer with cap exempt as it was approved within last 6 years. Or should I apply in a new H1B in April 2014 through some employer?
