Can un-used stamped H1B visa from Oct 2003 help ?

[IndianCitizen99]

Hi All,

I have an un-used stamped H1B visa with a PED of Oct 2003. My question is can this visa be reactivated so that for applying for H1B this year I do not have to go through the lottery system?

It will be nice to get inputs from you,

Best regards,

Nope, too late. It should have been within the past 6 yrs.
