H4 to H1

[sreeb]

Hi,

I am on an H4 now since dec 2011, if I get a job now and have my H1 filed,

do I have to wait until Oct 2012 before I can start working?

I used to be on an H1 until Sept 2011 and then quit work to move to where he lives,

when we got married and filed for an H4 in August.

Any valuable inputs are appreciated.

Thanks,

Sree

please consult a lawyer.

no, you are cap-exempt since you were counted for H1 before, but your total available/remaining H1 time is 6 years less all the previous time you were in H1.
