Are the gaps during H1B 6 yrs period counted?

[mahesh.sahu75]

Hi All,

I will max out my 6 yrs of H1B visa in April 2013, my Employer has started the GC process, but by the time they file labor it will take another 5 months after that i'll have only 4 - 5 months for Labor to be approved, in case labor is not approved by April 2013, i'll have to move out of country for 1 year.

Can someone advise on what are my options?

Though my H1B will max out in April 2013, i've not stayed all all the days in US, for example; i've taken vacations to India with in my stay and that counts to 5 - 6 months.

Will the vaccation to India / gap will be counted towards my 6 yr H1B Visa?

Can i apply for H1B extension for this gap of 5-6 months?

Regards

Mahesh

please consult a lawyer.

yes, you can re-capture H1 time during periods you were outside the US.
