Hi,
Following are my case details
-
I-797 (LCA) was approved in November 2011 with an expiry of Sept 2014.
-
I was in US on H1B from March 2012 to August 2013 (~1.5 years)
-
It was revoked by the company in Sep 2013
-
i-94 was issued in Mach 2012 valid till Sept 2014
I had the following questions
-Till what date will I be cap-exempt and wont be required to go through lottery system?
Will it be since 6 years after my last H1B status (August 2013) or 6 years after my 1st LCA approval (November 2011) or 6 years after my LCA expiry (Sep 2014)
-
Can the expired LCA be renewed and transferred to new employer? If yes, it will be valid for how many years? What would be the fees for that?
-
If renewed LCA would be valid only till November 2017, by when latest should my perm be approved/ i-140 be filed so that I can stay in the US (and how many years I can stay without approved i-140). In case my perm is pending, can I stay in US till my perm is approved (and for how many years)

If a new LCA is filed under new employer, it will be valid for how many years? What would be the fees for that?
