When does the H1B Visa clock resets

[logesht]

Hi,

Could some one please clarify on the below query as soon as possible. Thanks!


I came to USA couple of yr back in H1B and returned back India after 1.3 yrs. And I was in India for more than 2 yrs. And now again came back to US with H1B through different employer. In this case when I came back to US now will the H1B Visa Clock reset or do I need to include the duration of previous US visit. This time I got H1N through Not subject to CAP

H1B clock will reset only if you spend one year outside U.S and return back on a brand new H1B CAP. You used your previous CAP to file a new H1B petition. So you need to include all the time that you have spent on that H1B CAP so far.
