I got my H-1B in 2015 at company X. In 2018, I got it transferred to company Y (my current employer) using cap-exempt and also got it stamped until July of 2021.
In 2019, it was amended again at my current organization only. I never travelled to U.S. using this H-1B. How will I be able to use this H-1B under cap-exempt after October 2021 as it will be more than 6 years from initial approval? Do I need another extension and amend it again?
