Validity of stamped unused H1B visa

[himaverick]

Hi,

I have a stamped H1B visa since April 2011. However I never travelled to US. A potential recruiter is interested. Would it be possible to apply for cap-exempt visa now.

Thanks,

Thanks, Is there any restrictions in terms of no. of years till which I am Cap exempt. In some posts I read that it is for a period of 6 years. Kindly request you to clarify the same.

I believe, it has to be within 6 years of your last H1 status date.
