Hi,
I received approved H1-B back in 2008 with Validity Period 10/2008 to 09/2011 but I never used this H1-B and never got H1-B stamped on my passport. I am on H4 visa since beginning (from Jul'08). Can I re-activate this H1-B without subject to CAP?

Thanks,
Shiva

Greetings! I have a COS request with USCIS to change my status from H1B to F1 ( it's been 3 months now; H1B ended 2 months ago).

QUESTION: Should I submit an I-539 bridge extension at least 30 days before school starts (just like the B-1/B-2 visas)? Or are previous H1B holders exempted from completing this.

Many thanks!
