My 6-year limit on the H1B visa ends in October 2010. Since my husband is on his H1B, I will be changing my status to H4.

I have the option of taking a 1-year sabbatical from my current employer.

If my current employer applies a fresh H1B after my break, can I start working on the new H1B without leaving the US?
 
You may need to leave US for another H1B.

H1B workers have a general limit of six years of time in H1B status. This may be extended, based upon the filing of a qualifying employment-based Green Card case. Alternatively, individuals who reside outside the United States for one year become eligible for a full six-years of H-1B time. The latter cases are subject to the H1B annual limit or "cap." see http://www.greencardapply.com/question/question10/question10_0508.htm
