Default Regarding H1b transfer to older company
I worked with company A for 6 months and then transferred H1B to new company B with whom I worked for 1.5 years. Meanwhile company A did not cancel my H1B and now when I am thinking of joining company A. Can we use older H1B petition. Is it ok to use older H1B petition or should we cancel older H1B on file and file new H1B transfer?

Thanks

I was in some what similar situation but my H1 transfer was not approved to the new company and my attorney suggested moving back to the previous employer.

I guess it is possible but if your H1 transfer was approved then you might have to apply for another transfer.

No, you don't have to apply for a new H1 if the previous company did cancel your H1 and the H1 has not expired. A dormant H1 can be reactivated at any time.
