  • Duration of stay in H1 after 5 years on L2

    Hi,

    My wife has been on L2 visa for 5 years, and haven't worked (or applied EAD) during this time.

    If she applies for H1 visa this year, how many years she can work on H1? Will it be 6 years or 1 year?

    In other words will L2 period will be accounted towards H1 years?

    Can you please suggest.

    Thanks,
    Surya

    L2 does not count towards H1 limit, only H1 or L1 does.
    This is my opinion and not legal advice.

      Thanks for the quick reply, just one more clarification..

      If if some one works on L2 (L2 EAD), still that does not count for H1 years?
