[BSAHA]

Q > Need your help to understand the Cooling period for H1B/L1A .

My Stay in USA :-

L1A :- 02-Aug-2010 to 22- March -2013 . ( L1A Petition was valid till 22-June -2013 , but left 3 months early ).

After 1 year . In 2014 April , Applied for H1B. Which was approved with a start date of Oct 2014 . Post extension , it is now H1B approved till June 2018 .


Question :- Since I stayed outside US for 1 Year before applying for H1B . The H1B that I hold now , can that be extended till 6 years ?
