Is my H1-B valid?

[frustrated_2001]

Hello ALL,

******************************************

How long a company can keep the H1-B if a candidate leaves ?

When I joined back company ABC in April 2004(2 months before my Labor got approved) , they told me to use the same H1-B (I797) which was valid from Oct 2003 - July 2006. They did not file for a new H-1B.

Do you Gurus forsee any problems for not filing a new H1-B petition when I went back to company ABC ? Basically I was not part of company ABC for the period of 4 months and they did not cancel my previous H1-B.


******************************************
My Labor was filed by Company ABC in January 2004.


I have submitted three I 797s with my I-485 as below

Company ABC -> Dec 2001 - Oct 2003
Company XYZ -> June 2004 - Jan 2007(H1 receipt date Jan 2004 , approval date June 2004)
Company ABC -> Oct 2003 - Jul 2006

And the Biographic Information is as stated below

I worked for
company ABC from April 2001 - Jan 2004
Company XYZ from Jan 2004 - April 2004 (H1 receipt date Jan 2004 , approval date June 2004)
Company ABC from April 2004 - Current.


please let me know.

Thanks.
