Hi Everyone,
I am Raghu from India, i wanted to know whether i can use my H1B Visa which i got it 2009.
Let me explain my case :
I have applied for H1B visa in the year 2008 and got selected in the lottery and the visa stamping as well ( Jan 2009 for 3 years).
But i didn't travell due to peak recession duing 2009 & 2010, my visa sponsor that time didn't give me supporting documents for POE.
This year i have decided to apply for fresh H1B and started interacting with consutants both in India and US for my Visa Sponsorship.
To my surprise , i got to know from one of the consultant that i can still make sure of my previous H1B visa itself.
They also said, all i have to do is H1B transfer to this new employer. I am planning to go ahead with them,
but there are few constraints with that. I have the below questions now
Questions :
Want to know whether i can still use my old visa ?
Is it true that, i don't have to go through lottery system as i had gone once ?
Also, i got to know that my visa is still valid for 6 years..and this will start from the day 1 i land in US ?
In the meantime, i had travelled to US on B1 last year. Does it have any impact ?
Thanks everyone in advance for your help and advice.
