Can use the same H1B Visa - RF Cafe Forums

The original RF Cafe Forums were shut down in late 2012 due to maintenance issues - primarily having to spend time purging garbage posts from the board. At some point I might start the RF Cafe Forums again if the phpBB software gets better at filtering spam.

Hi All

I used to work in the US as a RF Design Engineer between 1999 and 2001 on a H1B visa. After the economic downturn due to 9/11, I went back to my home country and my H1B Visa expired in 2002.

I am very much interested to come back to work in the US again. Is it possible for any prospective employer to re-activate my H1B visa which will enable me to return to USA on the same H1B visa? Or do the prospective employers have to apply for a brand new H1B visa? Would appreciate some feedback on this.

I have been applying to many companies in the US but so far haven't had any calls yet! Is the economy and job market for RF Engineers down currently? How is the situation in Canada?

Thanks, rgds

The job market is up, at least in my area (Mass.). I beleive you need to reapply for the visa. We just hired someone, but he had an existing visa in which we transferred.

thanks for the info. Well, I have to keep applying and hope that the organization is willing to process H1B.
