Vimal348 Posted January 11, 2019 Report Share Posted January 11, 2019 Hello, I was/is working in an IT company. My 6 years ((Actually 5 years and 10 months) of H1 B completed on last April 2017 . Since I had 2 more months, I've applied for extension and it got rejected after 210 days (November 2017). That time I went back to India and came back with H4 VISA after 2 month (January 2018). So right now I am continuing with H4 EAD and working. In this case am I eligible for applying new H1 B VISA ? Link to comment
JoeF Posted January 11, 2019 Report Share Posted January 11, 2019 You have to be outside the US for at least a year before a new H1 can be filed. Link to comment
Hema Reddy Posted January 11, 2019 Report Share Posted January 11, 2019 No. You have to be out of USA for at least 365 days before applying a new H1-B visa. If you go out of USA before March 31st, then your employer can apply for a new H1B in April 2020. Link to comment
NotAnAttorney Posted January 11, 2019 Report Share Posted January 11, 2019 The clock can only be reset allowing an employer to file a fresh H1 petition if you leave the country for one year before the application. Link to comment
