Hello,
A question on H1B cap-exempt petition. My case and question:
- In 2007 my H1B petition was approved and was valid till 2010 - I never used this H1B though I had the stamping in my passport.
- In April 2010, I got L1B approved and I'm in US since then on L1 visa
I read the below and fear if my new employer can't file a H1B cap-exempt petition:
"Once the foreign national has been counted against the H-1B quotas, he is no longer subject to the quota with a new H-1B employer (unless he has left the U.S. for one year)."
"Unless he has left the US for one year" -- As I was outside the US throughout my old H1B tenure, is it a problem ? Or still my new employer can file a cap-exempt H1B petition.
Please advise.
