How recapture time is calculated

[roboq2]

I am on 6th year of H-1B, status expires Sep 30 2016.

Initial labour application denied,second labour application filed on Feb 1st 2016 went in audit.

My company lawyer will file recapture time extension based on time I spent outside USA.

Can someone explain me how the recapture time is calculated? Is it working days or entire time that is calculated?and on which calculation it will be extended?

My H1 petition issue date is 10/1/2011. My H1 visa issue date on passport is 11/1/2011 with expiration date as 6/30/2014. I travelled to US on 11/15/2011.

My H1 was extended by my employer and my second term started from 7/1/2014 till 3/5/2017.

On a H1 visa, I can stay for a max period of 6 years. When I include both terms of my visa, I have been granted visa for 5.3 years.

Question 1: Can I extend my visa for another 9 months + any time that I have spent outside of the United States?

Question 2: If I have to recapture my time, should I calculate my days outside of use using my petition approval date(1/10/2011) or visa issue date(1/11/2011)?

A quick response will be greatly appreciated.
