Amru034 Posted January 9, 2022 Report Share Posted January 9, 2022 Hi, I exited US on 3rd September'21 as my L1 tenure was maxing out on 26th November'21. My Question is If i apply for H1 in 2022 and my application got picked up in lottery , what will be my max tenure on H1 ? Will it be 6 years (Happy Scenario) as I will be entering US again only after 1st October'22 after cooling period of 1 year? Or Will it be 1 year as my petition will be filled within one of my exit date? Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment
JoeF Posted January 10, 2022 Report Share Posted January 10, 2022 (edited) The clock only resets if you have been abroad for a year before a new H1 or L1 is FILED. The date of filing matters, not the date of entry. If your employer files in this year's quota you'll get one year. Edited January 10, 2022 by JoeF Quote Link to comment
