Can I use existing quota ( FY 2013 ) for a fresh H1B Application ?

Asked 3 months ago - Albany, NY

Flag

I was working in MN in L2 EAD visa for company A . My employer agreed to file an H1B for me that time . They filed L . C . A and H1B without all supporting documents . It got an REF . In the mean time i moved to NY due to my Husband's job transfer and moved to 4 visa . Employer A not interested in my H1B ( since i moved to NY ) and finally withdrawed my H1B petition . Now Company B in NY told me they have a position in their hand and they can get my H1B using the previous quota . Is this possible ? Is quota allotted to person / company ? if quota is allotted to me then I believe I can proceed with the proposal otherwise not . Please give me advice in this matter . Thanks
