Hi All,
I got first H1B approval in Apr2016 for one year.
First Extension:
-----------------
I didn't go for stamping for one year and applied for extension just before the expiry date and got 2 Years 6 Months extension which is valid until Oct 2018.
First H1B Stamping & I94:
------------------------------
I went for stamping in Sep2017 and came to USA in H1B by Dec 2017. I have I-94 until Oct 2018.
Length of Stay in USA on H1B :
-----------------------------------
By Oct 2018, I would have stayed in USA in H1B for 22 Months however my total approvalwill expire for 3 Years & 6 Months (44 Months).
Questions:
------------
1) My company is willing to file for extension. Is this my last extension possible before applying GC?
2) In this Second H1B extension, how many more years of extension I am eligible considering my 22 months stay out of 42 Months from earlier approvals.
Can somebody help me to understand the max possible stay in H1B for my case.
