Since you have been counted under the annual cap, any employer (current or another) can file a cap-exempt petition for you at any time. This cap-exemption is available for 6 years after your latest petition expires. Nothing needs to be done keep this cap-exemption available (or keep the H1B alive in your terms).

Hi Kabkaba,

By latest petition do you mean in case if an extension was filed on the original petition then expiry date of the extension would be considered to check 6 year validity?
