Hi friends, this is for my collegue.
He has already been on H1 for 5 years between Aug 2003 to July 2009 .
After July 2009, he has been working outside US.
Now when he applies for H1, I believe he can apply as quota exempt.
So in this case, what can be the maximum validity for his H1 visa? Will it be only one year? (6 years - 5 years). If it is only one year, he would like to apply for the fresh quota, rather going for quota exempt.
Please advise.
