Hi All,
I know this is a general question but my case is a little different.
I have been working for a reputed firm(X) in India from the last 4.5 yrs. Another firm in U.S(Y) has filed my H1B in 2008. I got stamped in 2008 and had the validity till Sep2011. I couldn`t travel to US because of the recession in the US at that time. Meanwhile my current firm (X) has asked me to get B1 stamping and travel. They insisted and I couldn`t refuse.
I went for B1 stamping and the officer and got B1 approved but the H1 had a stamp - 'cancelled without prejudice'.
I seriously want to utilize/renew my H1B now. Is there any chance for me to use my H1B. If yes, may I know the process please? what about my I797?
Regards,
Guru.
