Hi,
I stayed on L1 Visa in US from Dec-2010 to Oct-2013 and then went to India. In 2014 my H1 has been filed and I initially got for only 1year (till 30-Sep-2015). I entered USA again in Nov-2014 and when applied extension in Sep-2015 i got renewal only till 16-Mar-2016.
Looking at the documentation our attorney has counted my L1 stay period also within 6years time frame while applying for extension.
1. Does that mean 6yrs of H1 always count period of stay on L1 also?
2. If yes then i was out of USA for 387 days between leaving from USA on L1 to entering back on H1 so i assume the clock should be reset, Please advice
3. If what ever extension i got completes all 6yrs stay in USA then when should i start my GC process mandatorily?
Thanks,
Santhosh
