U might not be qualified

You might not be qualified for visa revalidation. (The so-called getting a visa inside U.S.).

Visa revalidation is for those who held a visa which expires no more than one year. You have been here for over a year.Check if your old H1 visa stamp expired a year ago. If not, then you can do it.
