Hey, I got my H1-B a long time ago (more than 6 years). I only used it for like 6 months.
I still have my I-94. If I tried to get a job in the states again, would I have to be counted against the cap once more or could I just use my unused time?
I read this previously but I'm not sure if it's up to date:

If I could, how long would I have to use that unused time? Also, if I changed nationality, would I lose it?
