H1B status once you leave job and want to go back to USA

[Donna1223 0]

Hello,

 

I previously held an H1B visa and worked in the U.S. from February 2018 to February 2022. During that time, my I-140 was filed and approved. When I left the U.S. in Feb 2022, my H1B petition was valid until January 2024. Now, I am considering returning to the U.S. for work. Can someone clarify what my visa status would be? Would my new employer need to file for a new H1B through the lottery, or is it possible to transfer my expired H1B? 

 

Thanks!

if your h1b was not revoked by the company than yes it is still valid and you can return working for company in US. ask your HR immigration expert at the company if its valid or revoked
