You need to understand that only time spent inside US on H1 or L1 status counts towards the 6 year limit. So, you need to do the math.
Deduct any vacations, period outside US which can be recaptured into the 6 years. That will give you the accurate end date for the H1. If you entered 3 months late on H1b into US, then the 3 months can be re-captured.
Also note that USCIS has to approve the recaptured time for one to use it.
I am not a lawyer and you need to consult with one to validate any info posted on the forum and discuss your case specifics. H1b Question? Read the FAQ first.

As H1B is valid for 6 years i should be good till 2014. However I guess my previous L1 years will use bit of it. Till how long can i stay in USA will it be 19 Nov 2014 or 1 st Oct 2014 ?
