  • Number of years left on H1B Visa?

    I first came to USA on L1B visa on 15-JUL-2009.
    Went back to India as L1B extension got denied on 1-FEB-2013.
    Applied for fresh H1B under normal cap on 01-APR-2013 which got approved.
    Came back to USA on 08-MAR-2014 on this H1B, after staying outside USA for more than 365 days
    My question is that as I have traveled to USA after completion of more than 365 days on a fresh H1, will that reset my clock giving me full 6 year tenure on H1B or I will get 6yrs minus previous stay on L1, as my H1 was applied before completion of one year in APR-2013
    Please suggest in my case whether I have full 6 years of stay or 6yrs minus previous stay on L1?
    Thanks in advance !

    6 Years minus stay on L1 as H1 was applied before completion of 365 days period. Had you applied in 01-Apr-2014 you would have got full 6 Years.

    This is my opinion not legal advice.
