Expired H1 Visa - Renewal Options
Hi,
My H1 was filed by my previous employer in April 2008 cap and was selected in lottery and was stamped and was valid till July 2011.
I travelled in Jan 2009 and was there till Sep 2010 and returned back for good and changed to my current employer in India.
I checked my receipt no. now and this H1 still seems to be valid and is not cancelled by my previous employer.
1. Can this H1 be transferred to my current employer and renewed now?
2. Renewal option is valid within 6 years from the date of petition approval (2008 in my case) or 6 years from the date of last exit from US (2010 in my case)?
Thanks
