Hi,

This is my first post here.

I worked in US for a few years. In order to pursue my interests, I resigned from my job in October 2011 and returned back to India. At the time of resignation I had a 797 and visa stamp both with the expiration date of June 2013. This means there are about 20 unused months on my H1B.

I also have a B1/B2 visa. I recently traveled to US on that B2 visa to meet my friends.

I understand that it is possible to reclaim the unused 20 months on my H1B. So is it possible that I travel to US on my B2 visa, find a job and then apply for change of status from B2 to H1B?

I have a few contacts who are willing to line up interviews for me.

Thanks. Appreciate your help.
