Reinstatement of old H1B, cap-exempt?

[abhichit]

Hi,

I was granted H1B on Oct-1-2004 (after working on OPT from Feb-1-2004) and worked through 2 employers on multiple H1Bs till my last one (details below). My last H1B was valid till Nov-17-2010 but I left my company and returned back to India on Apr-1-2010 (i.e. with ~5 months remaining in the 6-yr overall H1B validity period).

Question: Will any company sponsoring my H1B TODAY have to file under the 2013-2014 cap, or will I be cap-exempt?

Your advice and expertise are deeply appreciated.

Cap exempt = 5 months of work time, immediate start

New quota = 6 years work time, Oct 1 start
