Applying New H1 as CAP Exempt

[dipak.tilekar]

I have an expired H1-B. Below are the details :
Issue Date : 13-Oct-2007
Expiration Date : 18-July-2010

I worked on H1-B through Employer A from Dec-2007 to Jan-2010. After that i went back to India.
I was in India for 1 and half year.

After that i came to to USA in June-2011 on L1-B through the same Employer. That means in June 2014 i will complete 2 years on L1.

I believe that i can apply my new H1-B as CAP exempt through Employer B.
If this is true, for how long i will get new CAP exempt H1 ?

Applying New H1 as CAP Exempt

You would be eligible for 6 yrs - (time spent on l1 and h1) , if you choose to go through the cap exempt route.
