subram001 Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 Hello I completed 6 Years in H1B and currently out of USA. My 1 Year outside USA requirement will end by May 2012. Can my Employer file for H1B when the new 2012 quota opens in April 2012 or even filing can be initiated only after the 1 year period ends? Link to comment
Attorney_10 Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 Generally, if filing a pettiion under the H1B numerical cap, the first day the petition may be filed is April 1 requesting an October 1 start date. In certain situations the petition may be filed earlier than one is eligible as long as the individual will be eligible for H1B status on the requested start date. Please schedule a consultation with an experienced immigration attorney to discuss the specific facts of your case and to detetrmine when your H1B petition may be filed. Link to comment
