New Employer use Old Approved H1B Petition

USA H1B Visa
1

Hi,

I have a old H1B Petition from my current Employer (Company A). This petition was approved in 2009. Can I join a new employer (Company B) and they use this old Petition to file a new H1B Exempt from Visa Cap for me?

Thank you.

Yes, your prior H1b approval makes you cap exempt. Your new employer can file for a H1b transfer.

Yes, you are still elgible

Another employer can file a cap-exempt petition for you based on previously approved petition. This is doable.
