Unused, Unstamped, Unexpired H1b
Company A filed my H1b petition in 2016 which was selected in lottery and approved. This was a consular processing and my employer never sent me to USA for project due to which the visa was never stamped on my passport. Now, can we file H1B transfer petition for such Unused, unstamped and unexpired visa for company B? if yes, how does it work? does it happen very often?
There's nothing like a 'transfer' of H1b. Change of employer petition is always a new H1b . I don't think you will be cap exempt, and I think you will have to go through lottery again.
I was in a similar situation. I was cap exempt.
I did some research and many blogs say that I can get cap exempt h1. Your reply based on your own experience helps a lot. Thanks!
I know atleast 2 cases where my friend had done it and they were in
Thanks buddy :)
They were in India, never used H1B. This was in 2016.
I donโt think you can. You want to port a number that was never activated ๐
Haha. Great analogy. I wish it was that simple :) Have a nice day
