Hi folks,
I was on H1B visa and moved out of US 2 years back. I should have 3 years left on my H1B visa. I am planning to go back to the US now. Do I need to apply for H1B lottery? Or can I reuse my previous H1B. FYI - I work for a different employer now.

H1B is employer dependent. I would ask your current company to reach out to their counsel and ask if they are able to transfer and recapture the time you have left on the existing H1B.

I received my H-1B visa and will be traveling to U.S. for my first time in January 2022. Employer is asking for I-94 (given during entry) and SSN (need to apply when I arrive) before my moving date. Has anyone else encountered this problem and is there a workaround?
