As per my personal experience the ban period is still 2 yrs coz one of the guy joined our company after 19 months that he had left the country and from his last employer.. now he need NOC from that company to issue his RP in our company sponsorship.. its the thing happened by this week only....pls don't pass any wrong information through which somebody can be suffered ... rich people can adjust anyhow but it may cost poor very much and so badly.

For the wife who is under husband sponsorship has no ban period.
