I came to US in H1B visa in August 1999 to work for a US based consulting company. I worked till February 2002 under the same visa. The H1B petition was valid for 3 years. I joined another company in March 2002 & returned to my home country. Then, I came to US in L1A visa in November 2003. Since,then I am working for the same company in US in L1 visa. I have below two questions.
1> I am planning to join a US company by using my previous H1B Visa transfer. Since, H1B has limit of six years & I have utilized only 2 years & six months so far. Do I have an option to do such H1B Visa transfer using my old H1B visa petition?
2> If the answer to my previous question is yes, what is the maximum duration that I can stay in US on new H1B visa petition that I will receive? I am in US on L1 visa since November 2003.
