Thanks all!

Thank you @igoyougoduke, for clarifying the process for me! Just to confirm, I need to secure an employer willing to sponsor an H1 visa and ensure I have an approved I-797 form. The application will be cap-exempt even with the "cancelled without prejudice" stamp on the previous H1 stamp. Could you possibly share any insights on the timeline for obtaining this H1 stamp? I'm curious about how many months it typically might take.

Hello all, New to the forum and wanted some answers. Got H1B Visa in 2011 and have had three extensions with approved i140; the priority date is in 2016. Left employer and moved to another country in 2020(last H1 stamped in 2019), and technically may have 2 more years left in the stamped H1. Applied for B1/B2 while in Canada and have ten-year tourist visa. Last H1 has a stamp on cancelled without prejudice on it while I got my B1/B2 stamp. Question - 1. Can I reenter the US as if I have a valid job offer? 2. Can my current employee apply for H1 and be cap-exempt? Thank you in advance for all your help!
