Legal Question in Immigration Law in California

h-1 problem

Hello,

i have a friend who has an offer from a company and they want to do his h-1b. But his last h-1 from his last company expired last year and since then he's been out of status. Now, my question is can he get his new h-1b approved after being out of status. Or does he have to go back to his country to apply for an h-1b visa from there.

thanks.

If he has been out of status for more than 180 days, he may have a problem with returning if he leaves the country to apply.
