Hi All,
Could somebody please answer my question?
I had my H1B petition approved in 2005. But the employer couldn't provide me the required docs (client letter etc) and I received 221g thrice. In 2007 Chennai consulate returned my petition back to USCIS. I wanted to get the petition filed again this year by another employer. But because of some personal reasons I couldn't do that. Since the quota for 2008 is already over I cant get a new employer to file the petition now. My questions are :
1. Since I am already counted toward the cap in 2005 do I need to wait for next year? Or Can another emplyer file the petition now?
2. If I get another employer to file my petition, how long can I stay in the US on H1 status (3 years)? Is it a good idea to wait for the next year (2009 April) and get the petition filed by the new employer?
Thanks in advance,
Arvind.
