New H1 Visa..
I had a valid H1 Visa from 1997 to 2000. Now, if I have to file a new H1 B petition, will I be counted against the visa cap.
I found an article in this website which mentions this:
Following beneficiaries of approved H1B petitions are exempt from the H1B Annual Cap:
* Beneficiaries who are currently maintaining, or who have held within the last six years, H1B status, and are ineligible for another full six year stay as an H1B.
I am confused now as to whether I can file a petition now, as the cap has already been reached for the year 2006. Can anyone help me..
