Hi,
I came to US from Company A in Sep-2007 and stayed till 01-Jan-2010. (H1 was extended in US and was valid till Nov 2011.)
In india switched to Company B in Nov 2010 and started VISA transfer process and it got approved in Jan 2011.
My new I-797 says
Receipt Date : 19-Jan-2011 (So, this is the date when USCIS received my application)
Notice Date : 08-Feb-2011 (This is when my petition approved)
My new I-129 says "CAP H-1B Bachelor's Degree" for the question on Numerical Limitation (i.e. H1 CAP).
Also the date on I-129 after attorney's sign is 07-Jan-2011 as shown below. (I believe, this is when my H1 transfer case was prepared.)

This means my H1 transfer was filed under new CAP, and i was in India for 365+ days when my case was prepared.
In 2011, H1B CAP reached on 26-Jan-2011 (source : http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/usc...00082ca60aRCRD)
So, my case was filed before the H1 CAP was reached. But it was approved only on 08-Feb. So, not sure if mine was considered under new CAP or not.
I have been staying in the US on new VISA since Mar-2011.
I would like to know if my VISA transfer happened under New CAP or not? i.e. Am i going to get 6 years on my new VISA or not?
Thanks in advance
