Hi Guys,
From my previous employer i got H1B visa in June 2013 and it is going to expire in Sept 2015. Due to some reasons i left my previous employer without visiting US at least single time and sadly i do not have the petition copy (not even xerox) with me. When i checked with HR department of my previous employer about petition copy, all they said is they have discarded it and actually i do not need the petition since it might have expired by now. Currently all i have is Visa, Passport, D160 etc.
Now if I want to get Job in US, having Petition copy is mandatory??? I checked with local consultant. He is saying it is mandatory. Otherwise I would require to pay around 3 lakhs to get petition filed from my new employer (of US).
Please advice me.
