  • Can I utilize remaining time from previous H1B?

    Hey guyz

    I was in US on H1B during Dec 2007 to June 2008! (Had to come back to India due to family matters).

    This time (2017) got selected again. So how many years do I have for H1B?

    Only 3 years? Or remaining time of previous H1B will also count?

    Please suggest.

    Initially USCIS approves petition for 3 Years or time requested by employer, whichever is less.

    But you have an option to find an employer to extend the petition till Max 6 Years.

    This is my opinion not legal advice.

      So what do you think in my case? Will I be able to apply for extension after 3 years in this second term?

        Possible, if you have an employer willing to sponsor.
