I worked in H1B status for 3 months in 2010. Can I now use the remaining period of my H1B time?

Answer

It is normally possible to obtain an H1B cap-exempt approval in the situation described. The old H1B is not reactivated. An employer must file again, but the filing can be made as cap exempt, with eligibility for the unused time in the initial six-year period. (08.Jun.2015)
