I had completed total 6 years (5 yrs on L1 and 1 yr on H1) in September 2014 and moved to India in Sept-2014. Am I eligible to apply fresh H1 for 2015? As new H1 always effective from october (in this case Oct-2015), so the duration between september 2014 to october 2015 will be one year of gap on which I will be staying in India. Please help
