Question about H1B Visa

[immihelp]

Hi,

I have a very unique H1B situation. I was offered a job by an American Company last year. They filed for an H1B (in the open category, since I only had a bachelor's degree).

My application was approved in the H1B lottery. However, I decided to pursue a Master's degree in the US, and so declined the offer, and did not get the H1B stamped. Now when I graduate, do I have to go through the April 1 filing process again?

Can another company revive my H1B approval and skip the filing process?

Any guidance would be helpful.

Thanks

You have to go through everything all over again. H1B approval is specific
to one company.
