  • urgent Query Regarding H1 B cap pls help

    I have got my h1b petition approved from oct 2006-oct 2009,But I have used only one year of visa and left to india .....

    Now i got my h4 stamped..and came to US this month(July 2012)....so can i use my old petition so that i won't be falling in the cap....?

    I read in most of the sites that petition is valid for six years so in my case it will be till Oct 2012......

    so if i apply H1 transfer now(i.e August 2012) do i get the remaning balance period(5 years of visa ) or only 1 month of visa i.e till oct 2012....plssuggest...?

    >>> Yes, the CAP from the previous petition can be used to file a new petition.

    I read in most of the sites that petition is valid for six years so in my case it will be till Oct 2012......
    >>> Petition i snot valid for 6 year. Only the CAP will remain valid for 6 years.

    so if i apply H1 transfer now(i.e August 2012) do i get the remaning balance period(5 years of visa ) or only 1 month of visa i.e till oct 2012....plssuggest...?
    >>> You can recapture the time spend outside U.S. Only the time spend in U.S in H1B + L1 status counts towards the H1B 6 year CAP. Time spent outside U.S can be recaptured.
