Can i use old CAP for new petition?

[tsrini]

Reading through the forums I do understand that I can file for an H1B using my old CAP. Process and procedure?

I was working from 2007-2010, and I left US in 2010. My petition was approved in 2006 and got my visa stamped in Nov 2006. Got my Perm approved in Feb 2010 and i left US in Apr 2010.

Now I plan to return back, my query is
1. Can a new petition be filed with the old CAP as I haven't reached the 6 year limit?
2. If so, what is the process for filing a new petition and the approximate time span?
3. If the filing is a success where do I have to get the stamping for the visa , as I stay in Malaysia.
Do I have to go back to my hometown (India) or can I get it done in KL?
4. What will be the procedure to apply visas for my dependents in this case?
