USA H1B
,
#1

I had been on H1B for 8 years (6 + 3 based on approved I-140) and the validity period ended in 2003 to 2012

but i moved back to India in 2011 i dont know rite now my I-140 is still in approved status or not(Can anyone tell how to check Validity)

now can a new employer file cap exempt H1B?

If I am subject to cap in the above scenario, however lets say I left US at 8 years and one year was still remaining, can I recapture the

One year to be cap exempt and thereafter extend on approved I-140, or is the recapture time only available for the first 6 years?

Use below link and enter the receipt # on your I-140.

Yes.

There is no recapture concept once you have approved I-140 that gives you ability to extend H1B beyond the 6 year term. The sponsoring employer can simply file cap-exempt H1B using your approved I-140.

You are looking at the H1B petition (I-129) and not I-140. If you don’t have I-140 approval notice you can request using the link I shared.

It clearly states your I-140 was approved so you may be able to use it for cap-exempt AC21 H1B extension.
