  • H1B Visa new petition filing after one year gap

    Hello,

    My maxed out date is 09-May-2018 but
    I am travelling back to my home country on 20-March-2018

    Questions -

    (1) Will I be eligible to file new H1B fresh petition for year 2019 cap which starts from 01-April-2018
    (2) One year gap i.e. 365 days - How USCIS counts this one year gap? Do they count it from 01-April or from 01-Ooct?

    Thanks in advance.

    Yes you should be fine. You should not have held a H1 visa status in the past 1 yr. from the date of application.

      Thanks for your reply.

      So as per your reply, date of application is 01-April so I believe I should stay away from USA from 01-April-2018 to 31-March-2019 so that I can submit new fresh H1B petition on 01-April-2019.
      Is that correct?

      Any other opinions?
