Hello,
Thank you very much for your help, in advance.

In 2008 Company A filed for my H1. But I came to US on H4 and stayed here for nearly 5 months till, Oct 2008. I had to go to India for H1 stamping. I got it done and returned to US in Dec '08.
Because the job market down now, am unable to get placed in a client company. My company A has agreed to provide me salary/pay stubs till March month. So after March ,
• Can I go back to my home country and return to US for work after 6-7 months with the same company A without any problems?
•Can I go back to my home country and return to US after 6-7 months with a new company B? IF 'yes', then how fast can I start working with company B? Should the company B file a new petition and do I have to go through the lottery system again?

OR If I change to H4,

1. How quickly can I move back to H1 with my company A?
2. How quickly can I move back to H1 with a new company B?
In both the cases (1 and 2) do I have to go through the petition/lottery system again?
How soon can I start working in both the cases (1 and2) mentioned above?
