  • Eligibility for H1-B Cap Exempt

    Hi,

    Given the details below, I wanted to know if I'm eligible for H1-B under cap exempt:

    I had my first visa H1-B valid from Jan-2004 till Dec-2006 and then extension was filed and approved from Dec-2006 till May-2009.

    I stayed in US only for 2.2 years (from Jan-2005 till Apr-2007). Later I couldn't travel and my visa expired when I was in India.

    I wanted to know if I'm eligible to recapture the remaining duration under my old H1-B visa?

    1) Also what is the latest date by when H1-B should be applied/filed?

    2) Where can I find the clear requirements for filing H1-B Out of Cap?

    I dont think you are eligible as you were on H1 more than 6 years back.

    This is my opinion not legal advice.
