  • H1B max out (H1B-F2-H1B)

    Hi everyone,

    Hoping to get some clarity on my H1B situation and timelines.

    My initial h1b petition was applied by my employer in US and approved in April 2012. However, I never went on H1B until July 2013, instead I extended my F1 STEM OPT (17 months extension).

    I went on H1B from July 2013 -> till Feb 20, 2014. Then I had to convert to dependent visa (F2) from Feb 2014 -> Oct 2014. But I did not travel out of US during this time. My new employer then again filed for my H1B with approval date of Oct 16, 2014.

    My question is -> considering above dates, what will be my H1B max out date/year? Would this time period when I was on dependent be counted in my 6 year H1B expiry limit? Any replies would be extremely helpful!

    Thank you!

    Only time spent in US in H1 status is counted towards the 6 Year limit.

    This is my opinion not legal advice.
