Re: H1-B related

If you are interested in employing your friend and there is an actual match between your proposed position and his qualifications, and the H-1B has not been revoked, you may be able to sponsor your friend for employment. Your friend will not need to leave the US to get new I-94. Nonetheless, to make sure everything is in proper form, it may be good to use an immigration attorney for this type of transfer.
