****Need Someone's Help Please 2008 H1B*****

[pepsipesi]

Hello,

I had an H1B issued to me by my previous employer in June 2001. I was
laid-off three months later in September 2001. Since then I have
remained in the U.S. on TN Visa. The current/new employer would like
to
sponsor me for H1B. I know that the H1B cap has already been reached
for FY 2008, am I exempted from the cap since I had an H1B issued in
2001?

If you have a TN visa, then why do you need an H1? Anyway, you can apply for next year's H1B ... for this year, its already too late
