Apply for H-1B In India in future. Currently working in US on H-1B

[lostpacket]

Hi,

I am currently working on H-1b in US. I am planning to go back to India for good by quitting the job.

In case I decide to come back to US in future when I go to India, can an employer apply for h-1b any time during the year ?

I am on H-1b since Oct 2010. I have US master's degree.

This is just to be sure that I have better chances of coming back to US in case I decide.

Please reply,

Thanks

Generally, an individual is eligible for six years of H1B time and only counted against the numerical H1B cap once during the initial six years. Generally, time spent abroad after being counted against the cap does not count towards the six years. If an individual spends at least one full year abroad, s/he has the option to either be counted against the cap again for a new six year period of H1B time or use the time remaining from the original six years. Please schedule a consultation with a qualified immigration attorney to discuss the specific facts relating to your case and the different options that may be available to you.
