    No work around at this point in time. Usually, people convert to H1b and then have Labor filed to get extension before 5 years. In your case, as you have already gone past 6.5 years, going back is the only option.

    I am not a lawyer and you need to consult with one to validate any info posted on the forum and discuss your case specifics. H1b Question? Read the FAQ first.

      Does this mean that after staying outside the US for one year the 6 years limit is "reset" and you can apply again for either L or H visa?

      Thanks

        Yes , your clock will reset after you stay out of US for 365 days. Then you are eligible for a FRESH H-1 or L-1
