H1B to H4 back to H1B does new H1B clock reset?

[new_bie]

If somebody converts to H4 after 6 years to H1B can he convert to H1B after 1 year of H4? Does the clock of new (second) H1B reset? There is no GC application done so cannot get yearly extensions.

thanks in advance for your help.

The clock can only be reset allowing an employer to file a fresh H1 petition if you leave the country for one year before the application.
