Q.

Filing H1B after 6 Years

Hello,
I have a B.S. and M.S. both from a US University. Upon graduation, I have worked on H1B for 6 yrs that expired in September 2011. Since then, I have been outside the US. Can I apply for a fresh H1-B in April 2012 quota for a start date of October 2012 (this marks my 1 yr away from US anniversary)? Or do I have to wait until October 2012 (if quota still available) to EVEN APPLY for the H1-B visa?
I have US degrees so that should make me eligible for 20K quota as well as the 60K general quota.
