Q.

H4 to H1 transfer using previous H1

Hi,
I worked in US on two long term assignments previously:
1)From Mar 2005 to Jan 2006 on L1 Visa - went back to India after assignment.
2)From Jan 2007 to Oct 2007 on H1 Visa - went back to India after assignment.
This H1 petition was valid from Dec 2006 to Mar 2008.
I came to US 3 months back in Jan 2011 on H4.
My question : I am on H4 currently. Will I be able to do a H1 Transfer and start working immediately, provided I find suitable job/employer? Will the quota be applicable in my case?

Thanks in advance
