Hi,
I am btech from India, never been to the US and have got I-797 approval starting from October 01, 2010. Say its march, 2011 now and my employer never got my stamping done from embassy and never sent me on-site. Few questions regarding this:
1) What if I switch my job in India and want to use the old H1B approval? Is it possible for my new employer to apply for H1b based on my old H1B approval (so that im not subject to the cap-gap)?
2) If yes to #1, what would be the process and how easy/hard is it? What all documents would I need? Would I need a “no-objection/credential verification” letter from my old employer?
3) If yes to #1, do I need to have worked with my new employer for a minimum period of time (say 1 year) before they can send me on-site on the H1b?
Thanks much folks! Appreciate even partial answers.
