Hi,
I have an approved H1B petition valid till end of Jan'08. But I have not used it till now. I have NOT been in the US for more than 1 year so as to reset and use the full quota of 6 years under H1B.
Can I come to US around mid-Dec'07 and hope to extend the H1B petition for another 3 years atleast? Will the extension of the H1B petition that I currently hold, be subject to cap numbers for the current year 2007-08 (which is already long gone) since I will be technically eligible for the full 6 year stay at that time?
Thanks.
