Legal Question in Immigration Law in California

H1-B expired, got a job, need another H1B still in US

Hi,

I was laid off in augusr, and I could not get anybody to transfer H1 with the old company. I donot know what happened with my old H1. I did not leave the country. I recently got another job, they can sponsor my H1. Should they be filing a new H1 or use old H1 for transferring??

If they do file a new h1, do I have to leave the country? Will I be facing any issues when I get my visa stamped. My I-94 is still valid.

I would appreciate if you can guide me with this.

Thanks

You can do another H1 but will have to explain gap in your work history!!

Your situation is somewhat complex. If the I-94 is still valid, you may have some transfer options. However, I would need more detail about your case to tell you for sure.
