H1 + H4 = 6 years

You will get visa from Oct 2005.

If you were in India for last 9 months, that does not matter. You can't recapture that period.

Hi there,
I came here 2000 march 6th as an dependent H4. Now Iam thinking to apply for H1. But if I apply now, for how long they will give h1 visa? Because 2006 march it will be 6 years for me. In these five years i went to india for 9 months(not in 1 stretch).
1. If I apply for h1, will get that in october of this year. I think it will be effective untill march 6th 2006. Do they count 9 months when I was in India?
Is there any chance to get visa for these 6 months form oct 6th to march 1st and extra those 9 months when i was in india?
Please help.
