xiaobaitu and other experts: about H1B

Hi, all,

I am a Ph. D student, holding F1 visa now.

Before I became a Ph. D student, I worked in a company holding H1B in 2003 and then worked in a univresity by transfering H1B.

Due to family relocation, I have two questions:

1. Since I hold industry H1B in 2002-2003, if I find a job in industry, I would like to know if my H1b petition will be
subject to the FY 2007 annual cap?

I think it is ok. But I am not clear. The below is copy of H1B regulation of AC21 103.

Thank you very much.

AC21 103 and 114 -- Exemptions from the H-lB FY Cap
As of October 17, 2000, the following beneficiaries of approved H-lB petitions are exempt from the H-lB FY cap:

(e) beneficiaries who are currently maintaining, or who have held within the last 6 years, H-lB status, and are ineligible for another full six year stay as an H-lB; or (f) beneficiaries who have been counted once toward the numerical limit, and are the beneficiary of multiple petitions.
