Hi,
I am in a difficult spot trying to apply for H1 and need few questions answered.
My visa status and US entry exit are as below.
H4 - 3/16/2016 till date
L1A - from 04/20/2010 to 2/22/2016
Q1. I am planning to apply for H1B this year (April 2017) and need to know if I am eligible to apply, based on the above US stay and prior / current visa status?
Q2. Do I have to go to out of USA for at least 1 year and then come back, since I have almost spent 5 years 7 months on L1 work permit.
Q3. Will 1 year on H4, living within US count as the 1 year gap required (supposed to be out of country) to apply for a fresh H1B this year.
Q4. If I can apply for H1, Will that make any difference in applying as COS vs Consulate processing.
