Just got notified I was selected in the second round of H1B picks. I received word I wasn't picked in the first round and my OPT time limit was reached at the end of July, so was transferred to the London office and started a new team from Aug 1st. Obviously had no idea I would subsequently be selected....will the fact that I am now part of a different team from the one my application was initially applied for with make me ineligible???

No, but there is still a ban on H1B stamping and you’d need to get a stamp to come back to the US

Why return to the US if you enjoy London?

I didn't want to move at all, loved New York- was there for 5 years. Grew up in London, hence why I didn't have much choice but to be repatriated there.

I just went to each of the 'careers' pages.. Updated resume to match the requirements on each posting. Called out on resume that I need immigration sponsorship. Had a cover letter for each posting.
