Stay at USA after Maxout

[mihirapatra]

Hello Team, I have following situation. Kindly review and provide your expert advise.

My H1B VISA / I-94 is valid until 1st week of March 2019, My 6th year is completing on June 15th 2019 and I have approved 1-140. My Employer is filing Extn + Amendment by mid Jan 2019 to extn. in that case,

How long this processing takes now days to get response from USCIS?
Can I stay beyond Mid June if the results are pending with USCIS?
Can I upgrade my case to Premium once premium processing starts after Feb. 2019.
Any difficulty or situation that I have to keep in mind?

Waiting for response.

Max out calculation help

Hi,

Would like to know how the MAX out is being calculated for US Visa. Below is my scenario

L1B Issue date : 09JUL2012 Exp date : 05JUL2015 . Date of first visit : 20JUL2012 and returned to India due to project issues on 11APR2015.

Same year 2015 I got my H1B picked in lottery and approved. But went for stamping on 20APR2016 then entered in US with H1B ON 17JUL2016 and continuing now in H1B.

Now my query is whether my max out period will be calculated based on L1B entry OR

Due to more than a year stay in India, will it be from H1B entry date.

Could you please explain on it. thanks !
