Hi,
This is from a friend: "I had an approved H1-B from Company A valid from 10/01/2007 to 09/27/2010. I never travelled to the US using this Visa because of personal issues. Now, Company A wants to sponsor my H1B again. Am I eligible for a cap exemption?"
From https://www.immihelp.com/h1b-cap-petition/, "Following beneficiaries of approved H1B petitions are exempt from the H1B annual cap: Beneficiary of this petition has been previously granted status as an H-1B nonimmigrant in the past 6 years and not left the United States for more than one year after attaining such status."
Does the start date (in this case 10/01/2007) have to be within 6 years? Or is it ok for the period (10/01/2007 to 09/27/2010) to be within 6 years?
Kindly help!
Thanks,
Wy
