H1 (6Yrs)-H4EAD(current)-H1b(new without leaving US )

[indirasimran]

Hi,

I have completed my 6yrs in H1B and currently working in H4 EAD(starting from Nov 2018). 

Can I file for new H1B in the 2021 cap  without staying out of US physically for 1yr?

Can I stay in US with different status for 1yr and then file fresh H1B?

 

Thanks,

Indira

No you have to be outside of USA for complete 1 year.

You absolutely have to be outside the US for at least a year before a new H1 can be FILED.
