nchhabria Posted August 1, 2014 Report Share Posted August 1, 2014 So the purpose of recapturing time is to make your case 365 days pending PERM approval? And you applied for an H1b extension in one step, i.e. recapture of days + 1 yr extension? I am the exact same situation so would like to know how did things went with your case. Link to comment
Attorney_22 Posted August 1, 2014 Report Share Posted August 1, 2014 It is important to know if your recapture time brings you to the end of your 6th year H1B on the 31st, or your recapture time brings you to September 23rd. Moreover, it may be advisable to discuss this directly with an experienced U.S immigration attorney. Link to comment
nchhabria Posted August 2, 2014 Report Share Posted August 2, 2014 My current 6th years of H1 expires on Aug 7th 2014 and PERM is pending approval (PD Aug 20 2013). I have 16 days to recapture which will make my H1 expiry as Aug 23 2014 and hence make my case eligible for 1 yr extension (coz more than 365 days pending PERM). Can my employer file the H1 extension in one step i.e. recapture the 16 days + 1 yr extension OR a 2 step process is needed i.e. 1st an extension to recapture 16 days then 2nd to file a 1 yr extension based on pending PERM? I was wanting to do a one step process so I can do Premium Processing(PP) and get it all done, but in a two step process I'll have to do a PP twice, but not sure which is the right approach.
