Hi all, appreciate your views in the below situation -
The background: Used to work in the US on H1B but returned back to India (working full time now) without exhausting the full 6 yrs. So technically (I think) I am cap-exempt and also eligible for another full 6 yrs of H1B. Now, I may have a potential employer in the US who is willing to sponsor my H1B.
Question: In some threads, I read that folks try to go to the US on B2 and than try to change the status to H1B. In my case do I need to first go on B2 (if I have to meet/complete the job offer formalities) and change to H1B. If yes, will the employer start my application while I am there on B2 and do I come back to India on B2 and get a H1B interview/stamp from India? please clarify this process.
OR should I just ask the potential employer to file application while I am in India, assuming the job offer works out remotely? Is this even possible?
Any other alternatives/suggestions to tackle this situation??
Thanks in advance for your comments. also, If any one has been through such a situation please let me know if I can connect with you offline.
