I was working in H1B status, but I was terminated and my H1B was revoked. I have since converted to H-4 status. Can a new employer file my H1B now?

Answer

In general, one in this situation is considered to have been ‘counted against’ the H1B cap. This typically means that an H1B may be filed for the person without having to go through the lottery again. (14.Aug.2017)
