I do have question related to H1B 6 year term. My initial H1B was issued in Nov-2002. It got transferred 4 times till now. As per 6 year term it ends Nov-2008. Out of these 6 years, i was not in USA (in INDIA) from June-2003 to Dec-2005. My question is whether i can claim the period for which i was not in USA. And what i need to do for that.

I also have the same problem. I had H1 during 2000 and used it for 17 months and was away from US for one year.Then came here thru H4 during 2003. But i wanted to do H1 for me now, since i had H1 before and out of US for one yr, i think i can claim for another H1(only for the remaining yrs 6 yrs minus 17 months) which will not come under the cap.
I need some help in this regard.I would like to know whether i can apply for H1 anytime and can work?

---- Yes, you can claim this period when you apply for your H1 extension. The application you send to USCIS should make a mention of it
