    L1 + H1 combined stay can be at max 6 Years. This 6 years is calculated as the actual physical presence days in US. That means your husband can spend 6 continuous years since Nov 2008 till Nov 2014. If your husband has spent/spends some time outside US during these 6 Years that time can be recaptured.
    The way to extend stay beyond 2014 is to get Green card filed and I140 is filed 365 days before 6 years completion. Otherwise, he will have to stay outside US for one full year in order to be eligible for another 6 Years of H1. Also, if you are on H1/L1 and not completed your full tenure he can convert to H4/L2 to stay too.

    This is my opinion not legal advice.
