    Laid off on H1B... now what?
    I was working on H1B until I got laid off in the first week of February 2013. My I-94 says that the H1B visa is valid until August 2015. Now I've a job offer in hand as of May 2013. I've been unemployed for last 118 days. I know that the 2014 H1B cap has filled/reached in April.
    So does the hiring company apply for H1B visa transfer or a new H1B? Is there any chances that I can H1B approved?
    Thank you very much for your time.
