I got more than one approval of H1b in 2006, I got the stamping on one H1b and worked in the US for 5+ years…I moved to Canada in 2012 and came back to India in 2019. this is how I still have 8+ months left in my old stamped H1b. How can I use my expired / unused H1b now…???
You can find H1B employer and they can file cap-exempt H1B petition and claim the remainder time of your unused H1B.
need more clarification…
I got more than one approvals of H1b in the same year 2006…One was used and still has 8+ months left…
Another is still unstamped…
Someone says that you have used 5 years and 4 months of your H1b period and can’t use more than 6 years…so can’t use another H1b which was approved in the same year…He kept saying that as you got approvals on the same year so you can’t avail more than 6 years…
My point is as I have another approved (expired, unused & unstamped H1b), why can’t I use this one with a full period…I left the USA in 2012 and it is been 11-12 years now…
Can someone give me advice on this one…???
The one that you used for stamping is the one you can claim remainder of H1B time as cap-exempt.
