H1B visa extension rejected :: Options for re-Entry

[pkatti82]

Hi,
First of all thanks for creating such a wonderful community. this is really helpful and informative.

I have a question regarding if i am eligible to travel to the US immediately.

Background :
I went to the US on H1b visa from India from employer A and applied for extension of while i was in State A. We got a RFE and responded to it with all relevant answers. i had to move to a different state for new project while my extension appeal was in progress. Eventually my H1B extension was rejected on a new year day and i had to travel back to India within 2 weeks.(My stay in the US was 2y 1m)

Now i am with Employer B and want to know if Employer B can apply for H1B using the cap of my earlier H1B approval on immediate travel date considering that i stayed for 2 years and get a H1B approval for the rest 4 years.
Or
What are my other options to travel to the US with Employer B ?

Thanks in advance

Hi,

H1B cap may not be possible. File for H1-B where you can obtain visa. Your other options can be, B1 Business visa or L1-B visa.

Hope this helps!

thanks for the response
Referring to other posts, where the individual H1B had expired after staying in the US for 1 year, it mentioned that he can go for H1B out of cap, that will be applicable only for 5 years and get a immediate travel date ..
are you saying this is not possible in my case, cos my visa extension was rejected ?
