Left US on the 2nd year of H1B. Want to go back. What are my options?

Hello All,

First of all, I would like to thank to the community for creating a valuable atmosphere.

Last August, I was on my 2nd year on H1B, when I decided to return to my home country. Now, I want to go back to the US. Do I need to go through the H1B process all over again and find an employer who is willing to do that for me or do I have any advantages of previously holding an H1?

Also, is this true:

"Individuals who previously held H1B status in the last six years, and subsequently left the U.S. for at least a year, generally have the option of either using the time remaining in H1B status without being subject to the cap or applying for another six years of H1B employment subject to the cap."

I took it from this website.

Thanks!
