My USA entry and exit details are -

03/11/2012                              01/31/2013                          L1B

04/05/2015                                                                            H1B

My current H1B was filed on 31-MAR-2014, please let me know whether my L1B stay of 2 years and 3 months will be included in my H1B max out of 6 years or not.

Sigh. You asked the same question multiple times already.

The answer doesn't change. The time on L1 *is* included in your case because the H1 was FILED before you were abroad for a year.

This is different from the OP's case, left on 01/31/2013, and his H1 was filed more than a year after he left, on 31-MAR-2014.

Your case is different. Again, in your case, the clock did NOT reset. It is the law. Please get that into your head. Thank you.
