I have a Premium Processed H1B Approved Petition Approved in 2003 Valid Till 2006. Due to personal reasons I have not taken it for stamping and hence lying UN-USED till date. Kindly help me with your suggestions if - I can Use it. Please suggest the process. Sincerely appreciate your help. And Thanking You in Advance.

You are past the statute of limitations on time but an employer will be able to use the approval as support data. Be sure to let them know.
