Legal Question in Immigration Law in Nebraska

h1B WAS DENIED

for the question When it was denied? How long have you been ''out of status''? Are you still working for your first H-1B employer? Were you actually on H-1B status before this employer filed the H-1B petition?

it was denied this year ,i have not been out of status , i am not on H1-B, i am currently on OPT(optional practical training ) which goes till year end ,

My H1 was denied , when my previous company filed it this year, now i have joined another company they want to hire me for long term , i require H1B to work for them after my OPT expires.

So in this case ''can i re-apply my H1B through the new company i have joined ? if yes what are my chances of getting approved,

- thanks,
