Cooling period question

[mramvivek]

Hi Team,

 

I have worked in USA in L1B visa for the below periods for an employer A. 

 

18 months between April 2005 - Aug 2006

5 months between Sept 2007 -  Jan 2008 

3 months between April 2009 - July 2009 

29 months between May 2010 - Sept 2012 

 

After September 2012, I was back in India until Aug 2016. In Aug 2016, I came back to USA in H1B ( applied in 2015 lottery ) for a new employer B. I have spent 27 months on H1B working in USA now.

 

Do I get 6 years limit for the current H1B since I have stayed outside USA more than 1 year before applying for H1B ?

 

Thanks,

Vivek.
