Hi,
I came to US first time in 2007 in L1 visa and stayed till the end of 2008. I went out of country and stayed for a complete 1 year. I came back to US in 2010 using the same L1 visa. In 2011, I got a fresh L1 approved and continued to stay (went to India for stamping).
In 2013, I got my H1 approved from a different company and joined them. I would like to know if the one year that I have stayed outside the country would have reset the clock and I can use the full 6 years of H1, or i can only use the time spent out side + remaining time in H1.
I was told by my employer that my L1 + H1 years should not be greater than 6 years.
Please advise!
