I was working in H1B status for Company A. Company B then filed a petition on my behalf and I started to work for them. I would now like to return to Company A. In order to return to that employer, does Company A need to file a new petition for me?

Answer:

If Company A has not withdrawn the H1B petition that it filed on your behalf, and you have been maintaining valid H1B status, you should be able to return to that previous employer based on the still-valid petition. (10.Feb.2014)
