Cap-Exempt to Non cap-Exempt to Cap -Exempt Switch.

[suresh21]

Hi,

My first H1b was a cap-exempt H1b and worked for 1 Yr.

Later, moved to a cap-subjected H1B and worked for 1.5 yrs

I moved to another cap-exempt H1b and worked for 1 yrs.

Below are the timelines, if they matter:

First Job, Cap exempt H1B sept 2008-sept 2009.

Second Job, Cap Subjected H1b October 2009-March 2011.

Third job , Cap Exempt H1b April 2011-May 2012(still employed).

I was in USA all this time

Now, I am planing to move to another Cap Subjected H1b Job. I am wondering if I have to wait till October 1st to be counted in the cap.

Thank you in advance.

Did u wait until october when u moved the 1st time on cap-subject?

I think if u have already been on cap-subject, you will not have to wait until october.
