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.
