I have a stamped H1B expiring in Sep 2022 (can be extended for 3 more years) and I currently work with Deloitte USI in India with no onsite travel yet (haven't used it even once)

I am switching to a FAANG in India. Can I potentially use the H1B to talk them into transfering me to US offices in the future? (Not now)

Yes, you certainly can. You need to enter the USA within 6 years to avoid another H1B lottery.

Also, remember to reclaim the days you did not use H1b status in the US

It need to be activated by traveling initially, if you’re not traveling and visa expires without traveling or transferring you have to go through another lottery.

Also can Deloitte cancel my visa so that when I leave I can no longer use it?

Got it. Thank you so much! Do you have any recommendations of lawyers I could speak to?

I believe you also need to be on h1b before it can be transferred to another employer so if you’ve never used it to enter the US to ‘activate’ the status and gotten some US paychecks on h1b, it can’t be transferred to another employer either.
