20.If an alien has been previously granted status as an H1B nonimmigrant in the past 6 years and not left the United States for more than one year after attaining such status, should this alien be exempted from H1b numerical limitation?
Yes

Above is a paragraph I copied from a web site.
I was working on H1b status for about 2.5 years before I quit and became a full-time student (F1 status). I'm currently on OPT (which will expire soon). If the informatoin above is correct, does that mean I'm exempt from the quota limit and my employer is able to submit the H1b applicatoin for me now?
Did somebody really get his/her H1b after the cap limit was reached through this exemption? If so, were there any extra document needed to be provided?
My lawyer doesnt' seem to know too much about this and I really need to know this ASAP so that he won't make any mistake and cause some further problems. He even had problems filling out the I-129 and my clock is ticking. Please help!
