H1b clock

[SAliq123]

Org A filed my petition in 2015 and was picked with validity from Oct 2015 to Jul 2017. I traveled to US and worked with Org A for 10 months July 2016 to May 2017. Then I came back to India and resigned. I am out of USA for 5years now. Can Org B transfer and use same H1b. I read on this forum that a h1b petition is valid for 6 years stay. How long I can be out of US and use H1 cap exemption.

You are cap-exempt, since you haven't used up the full 6 years. A new employer can file an H1 for you at any time.

Org. B will be able to transfer using the same H1b and even extend it until you complete 6 years on H1b.   Request Org. B to start your PERM process while you are working with them so you can get an I-140 and become eligible for further extensions.

Can Org B transfer and use same H1b  --- Org B new H1B petition outside lottery...

Outside lottery any time if you have previous H1B approved.

If you want to reset clock.. then you must be outside USA for 1 complete year and go through lottery again...
