Hi,
I stay in India.
I had a H1-B Visa from a Company A (validity Aug 2008 - Sep 2010), which got expired by Sep 2010. I have never used my H1-B Visa, as the job market was not good in USA during that time.
I also had L1 Visa from a Company B (validity Jan 2007 - Dec 2010) traveled to USA for 2 months and returned back to India.
Currently I am working in India for a Company C and I recently visited USA for a month on Business trip. I got the Business Visa (B1/B2) with 10 years validity (validity July 2011 - July 2021).
Now, I am looking for an opportunity to work in USA, but my current company (Company C) cannot send me on a Long term or H1 Visa. What are the options available for me to work in USA?
Since my H1-B Visa is expired,
1) Should I file for a fresh H1-B Visa in the quota which will be opened in 2012?
2) Can I use my earlier H1-B Visa (which got expired) in any way?
3) Can I enter USA on my B1/B2 Visa and get a H1-B Visa there?
