Yes, you will be considered cap exempt and you are eligible for the remaining 5 years.

I might be in a scenario similar to yours.

Please share any input that you can.. Appreciate your time/

 

 

H1b Petition filed by employer 1 in 2004. Approved and traveled to USA in July2005 and returned India in October 2005.Quit Employer #1.
Joined employer #2 and filed a NEW H1B petition#2 and got it approved in 2007. Quit Employer #2 and joined Employer # 3 , transferred H1b . Completed 6 years and returned to India in December 2013.
Can I use my first petition approved in 2004 and transfer it to Employer #3 to enter USA after 365 days (i.e december 2014)

No, your employer 3 has to file a cap subject H1B petition in Dec 2014 (most likely April 2015)

Hello Prasanth,

 

Did you recapture the H1B visa ? I have a similar case and would like to know the outcome of your application. 

 

Please share.
