Need Clarification on H1 Extension.. can any one please suggest

[kt791t]

I have a question reg my H1 B extension.


1. I was holding H1B visa from 2006-2009 , but I visited US in 2007 for 3 months only and went back to India.
2. In 2010 , I came back to US on L1B visa and stayed from 2010 Oct to 2012 July, for a period of 1 year 9 months. I went back to India and stayed back at offshore for 2 years
3. I came to US on H1B , under Cap Exempt Quota ( because I was holding previous H1 and stayed only for 3 months) in July 2014.
4. Currently, My H1B Visa is expiring on June 29th, 2018 ( which is 4 years of Tenure with the present H1 )

Can I go for H1 Extension again in July 2018 for remaining 2 years (or) is my 6 years of Tenure completes by June 2018, considering my Previous stay of L1 for 1 year 9 months ?

If your combined stay in L1 and H1 status is 6 years, then only if your GC was filed timely, would you be able to stay and extend H1.

This is my opinion not legal advice.
