Hi,
I worked in India for an indian company in 2010. That time the employer applied for H1-B cap and it got approved. I did not do a visa stamping. I quit the job.
Now in 2015 i am in US as a L2 dependant. My spouse' visa is getting over in 6 months, so we are in need of a visa.
1. Can i re-open the old H1B now?
2. I do not have the receipt number or any documentation. I just got mail in 2010 that my visa got approved.
3. What documents do i need in order to do a change of status from L2 to H1B?
* Receipt number and Original H1B approval notice - My ex-employer is not willing to disclose these. Is there any way of getting it from USCIS?
4. My H1B visa did not get stamped at consulate - will this have an impact
What is the best way to go about this? Is there any way i can reuse that old H1B?
If i do get the receipt number, will it be enough to get me to work legally?
