My wife had an H1B with an employer in India (Employer A) and has worked in the US (at client location: Client A; Since 2016). In 2019 she went back to India worked for Employer A for few more months and then resigned in April 2020. Employer A has pulled back the petition in September 2020 (or revoked visa; not sure if it’s the correct terminology).
She is currently working for another Employer B in India and now has an H4 visa (has traveled on same one time; Nov 2020- June 2021).
I’m trying to find answers for:
-
Can she come back on H4 is next 3-4 months and an employer can file for her H1 (H1B transfer or a cap exempt petition/ not going through the lottery again; not 100% sure about the terminologies)?
-
Once approved she can work and use her 3 and half years of unused H1B duration immediately (as she has already used about 2 and half years out of 6 years)? Or the start date has to be 1st October like the regular lottery applications?
-
Is there any time line before which the above process must happen, like 3 years or 6 years from the time of visa revocation? or there is no time limit?
-
Any further details required for conclusion on this request?
Any help or direction on same will be great.
Thanks!
