回复：我的老H1B名额还有效么？

八年多前曾经短暂的在工业界用H1B工作了半年，后来决定回学校读博，请问律师我的capped H1B名额还有效么？也就是说，我是随时可以申请工业界的H1B，
-Yes. Provide the copy of old H-1 approval notice when you file H-1 application. You still have H-1 time of 5.5 years. When you do the H-1 extension 3 years later, provide the copy of your F-1 approval notice because your H-1 clock stopped when your F-1 was approved.

还是得等到明年4/1去申请名额？万分感谢
