Using H1B Petition after 4 years..

[Radha@2015]

I had traveled to US on H1B and worked in US for approximately 18 months (Apr2009 - Sep2010). My Petition Expired on Jul 2011. Owing to my personal circumstances, i was unable to extend my petition.

I am sure my employer has not cancelled it.. the last status i see in USCIS site is that the Petition is approved.
Will the petition still be usable? Meaning if i find a sponsor would they be able to extend my petition (or) transfer it?

Yes. I do hope you kept original/a copy of the approval notice with you.

This is my opinion not legal advice.

Even if the previous employer has revoked that petition, you can still find a new employer and file the H1B using the CAP from your previous petition. You will need a copy of the previous H1B approval notice irrespective of whether it is currently active or not.
