L1B and H1B

Hi team,

I had confusion on my max out date since I had 2 different types of visa i.e. L1B and H1B. I had received a fresh H1B while in India under H1B Cap.

 

Type of Visa ( H-1, L-1B, L-1A, EAD)
Date of Entry (Date when you entered U.S. physically)
Date of Exit (Date when you left/departed US physically)
L1B
5/22/2010
12/14/2010
L1B
4/24/2011
3/24/2012
L1B
10/28/2012
2/18/2013
H-1
1/26/2014
5/31/2014
H-1
6/10/2014
1/29/2015
H-1
8/16/2015
Till Date

 

Question 1:

With the 2 types of visa how is the max out calculated? My HR has mentioned that I will have to go back to my country now on 7th November 2018 for the cooling period of 365 days. They have considered the 6 years right from the L1B Visa entry date till current date while subtracting the days in between I was in my home country.

Question 2: 

While coming back since I have used just 3 years of H1B can I use the same petition to come back to USA after a year or in case my I140 petition is approved while I am in my country do I have to go through the lottery system again

 

Appreciate your time for reading this and helping me out with the query.
