In H4 and having H1. Options for getting a job

Hi,

I am currently in US with an H4 visa.

I also have an H1b visa stamped which was taken by my previous employer. When i resigned the job to come to the US the I-797 was taken back by the employer.

The H1b visa stamped in my passport says it is valid till Sept 2014. I have not previouslyl worked in US, So i don't have a SSN.

Is my H1b visa still valid? What options do i have to search for a job in the US

 

Thanks

Apply for cap exempt H1 visa. find employer and apply fro tranfer with COS. you cannot use h1 just like that.
