ATK Posted January 17, 2020 Report Share Posted January 17, 2020 HI, I have stayed in US for 3 years in L1B petition. My first L1B extension got rejected and moved out from US last Sep-2019. I am looking to apply fresh H1 for this year. Do USICS has any policy for cool off period to wait for a year or 6 months to apply? Please provide your inputs. Thanks for your help Quote Link to comment
JoeF Posted January 17, 2020 Report Share Posted January 17, 2020 Since it has been less than a year when you left the time on L1 and H1 would be combined, i.e.g., your max. time on H1 would be 3 years. To get the full 6 years on H1 you would have to be abroad for at least a year before the H1 is filed. Quote Link to comment
pontevecchio Posted January 17, 2020 Report Share Posted January 17, 2020 If you want a new total of 6 years, apply in April 2021. If you apply in 2020, you will only get a total of three. Quote Link to comment
ATK Posted January 20, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2020 Thanks for your reply. I do have approved I 140 petition, so hope i can apply for extension after 3 years with I140. Quote Link to comment
pontevecchio Posted January 21, 2020 Report Share Posted January 21, 2020 Good Job. You mention it now. What was the point of a question to which you knew the answer? Quote Link to comment
