lily1909 Posted November 17, 2011 Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 My H1-B is expiring next year end, but my company sent me to India for work purposes. I would be here for a year. They are going to take me back on L1-A Visa. By the time they are going to apply for L1-A Visa my H1 6 yr period still does not expire. (I might have 2-3 months left) Can they still apply for L1 if I am out of country for 365 days? Also i might have to travel to USA for few days to get some training. Would the 365 day period break and new cycle starts if I travel to USA for training? Is there any way I could travel to USA and not effect the 365 day out of country rule? Please let me know your thoughts. Thanks! Link to comment
pontevecchio Posted November 17, 2011 Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 1. Yes 2 The requirement of one year would be added to the few days you will be here presumably in B1 status. You have not provided all the info needed. Link to comment

pontevecchio Posted November 18, 2011 Report Share Posted November 18, 2011 If you will be sent by the company in B1 status for short periods of time or you will come in B2 status for short periods of time these periods will be added to one year and that will be when the company can file the H1 petition for you.
