Approved I140 - Lay off H1-B2-H1B question

[Ganesh1978]

Esteemed Members,

Need advice if my H1B is portable.

Chronology of events:

1.) Got H1B in US Masters program in 2005, valid till May 2011.

2.) Applied for GC in 2010 by Company A, got I140 approved in March 2011.

3.) Changed to company B in July 2011, got H1B extended till July 2014.

4.) Laid off in July 2012. GC process by company B not yet started.

5.) changed to B2 status in July 2012. Approved.

Is my H1B valid for a new employer to transfer till July 2014, since I finished my 6 years on the original H1B? Do I come under CAP for a transfer if a new company applied for transfer of H1B?
