Hi

I am an H1B holder and have worked in the US for the last 1.3 years. I have now returned back to India (since 2 months) and am planning to switch employers. In this respect, I do plan to join back a company which has operations both in India and US.

The question is - Is it possible to do a H1B transfer whilest being a resident of India? My H1B is valid until Feb'9th of 2009

If not - do I need to initiate a fresh H1B with my new employer? And if so will the new H1 come under the cap restrictions or be cap exempt?

Thanks for your early response
