Team,
I had applied for H1B in 2007, it got selected in the lottery and
I went for stamping in June 2008 and subsequently entered US only in October
2008.
I am aware that H1B is valid for a total of 6 Yrs.
I would like to know, since I reached US only in October 2008 -
1.) Is the validity is considered from the day of entering US?
October 2008 + 6 Yrs ==> September 2014
OR
2.) It is calculated from the day of getting stamped?
June 2008 + 6 Yrs ==> May 2014.
3.) It is calculated from the 2007 batch of getting stamped?
October 2007 + 6 Yrs ==> September 2013.
4.) When I apply for extension, Can I also claim for the vacation holidays
(around 30 Days), that I spent outside US?
Pls clarify.
Thanks,
Krishnan
