Going from H1-B to F1 to back to H1-B

[adityagh]

I'm currently on H1-B visa in USA and i plan to get enrolled in a masters program by 2012 at which point i would have used 4 yrs of my H1-B visa and i would have to go back on F1. After my masters course when i reapply for
H1-B visa do i get fresh new 6 yrs on my H1 or do i get the 2 remaining years from my previous H1 status?

You will get only 2 more years when you get back to H1B, unless you spend 1 year outside U.S and apply a fresh H1B.
