Does H4 period count for the 6 years H1-B visa period?

[kolakara]

Hi Everyone,

I worked on H1-B for about an year and then moved to H4 . I am on H4 from the past 3 years . Now if I get a job then will I get H1-B for remaining 5 years or my total H1+H4= 4 yrs till now will be deducted from the 6 years period of H1-B?

Thank you in advance,

Kolakara.

The time on H4 does not count for the H1 duration anymore. It was decoupled a few years ago.
