renewal of expired H1B petition

[anura123]

Hi

I was in USA on H1B from Jan 2005 till Dec 2005. I came again on RL1 in March 2007. My H1B petition expired in Oct 2006.

Is it still possible to renew "EXPIRED" h1b petition?
I heard that it is possible unless you have used full 6 years.

Please suggest me.

Thanks

This is not renewal but capture of visa number. Since you were counted agains the cap once in the last 6 years and have reset the clock by staying abroad for longer than six years you may qualify for another 6 years.
