H1B Transfer-OR- New H1B

[mestep3]

Hello,

I am currently working with my company 'A' and am in the third year of my first H1B period which expires on July 2008.

I am planning to go on a vacation this november 2007 to my home country and will eventually resign to join another company 'B' in June 2008 under H1B visa.

Now my qtn is -

1 - Do I have to file a new H1B visa with caompany 'B' to join in June 2008 even though I have a previous h1 from company 'A' stamped in my passport valid till July 2008.

2 - Do I have to file H1 transfer when filing from utside US or a new H1B ?

3 - In this case do I get the period i spent outside the US on my H1B status stamped against my extesnion after 6 yrs of H1 expire ?

Thank You

P.S In both cases it is H1B cap exempt so no porblem with Quota

------------------------- let the B file H1 transfer for you while you are IN US once get H1 Transfer of B then at the time of entry to US at POE show valid Visa stamp of A AND H1 transfer approval of B and you will get I-94 till H1 Transfer approval of B
Now my qtn is -

1 - Do I have to file a new H1B visa with caompany 'B' to join in June 2008 even though I have a previous h1 from company 'A' stamped in my passport valid till July 2008.

----------------------H1 transfer can be filed while you are IN US with Valid I-94
