Cap exempt H1-B
I worked in the US for 2 years from 2014-2016. I returned back to my home country, India, due to personal reasons. I was working on H1-B. Will I be able to return to USA on my existing H1-B?
Yes. You need to find an employer willing to transfer your existing H1B. No need to file a new one.
Say if a person has stayed in US on H1-B for 6 years and has got a 3 year extension based on approved I-140 but leaves the country due to personal reasons or whatever during his 7th year on H1-B , can he still apply for Cap Exempt if he decides to come back to the US after few years ? Possible ?
I think as long as a valid i140 approved ... Any company can get a 3 yr extension
+1
Isn't the cap exemption valid for only 1 year after leaving the country?
Also the new company should be able to file a cap exempt H1B. Afaik, cap exempt H1Bs are only filed by non-profits, research labs, universities etc.
I have the same situation. From what I've found out. You should be able to get a new H1B for the remaining period if you have an offer
Yes - you should be able to file a new petition and not get counted against the cap
