SSwamy Posted January 4, 2021 Report Share Posted January 4, 2021 I am working as a full time employee for a US firm. My 6 year max-out date is 01/19/2021 and as per my I-94 it is 01/29/2021. My Perm was filed on Nov 2020 and it is still pending. I stayed outside US for 3 weeks of time. My Employer is performing two processes in parallel. 1. Filed for a Canadian work permit on October 2020. Waiting for Canadian work permit visa for temporary step out until my I-140 gets approved. 2. My Employer is planning to file an H1-Extension for recapturing those 3 weeks of time on 01/12/2021 using normal mode hoping USCIS will take 3 to 4 months or 240 days to respond. So that before we get a response from USCIS for my extension( In 240 days time) my Canadian work permit would be approved. So i can move there temporarily until my I-140/extension gets approved. Am i legal to stay in US(with payroll) until 240 days or until USCIS responds to my extension case. I hear from couple of my friends that i need to step out after my max-out even though my extension for recapture is in pending state. Quote Link to comment
mum2sf Posted January 29, 2021 Report Share Posted January 29, 2021 Hello, I am in similar situation. What was suggested to you ? Is the 240 days rule applies in such cases ? Thanks Quote Link to comment
