Hi Peter, thanks a lot for doing this. I have a h1b from 2012, i worked in the us for an year using it and returned to my home country. Is it of any use to me now, can i be cap exempt or its validity has expired and I will need a new one?

Regards

The $64,000 question. It could go either way. But unfortunately I think the weight of the law supports the need to go through the lottery again where there has been a gap of at least 6 years.
