qpid Posted August 26, 2011 Report Share Posted August 26, 2011 I stayed in US for 8months with H1B visa and later went back to India. I have come back to US after 2 years with L1-B visa as my H1B expired on Oct2010. Can my Expired H1B be renewed or do i need to apply for fresh H1B ? Link to comment
pontevecchio Posted August 27, 2011 Report Share Posted August 27, 2011 A renewal is also a fresh H1..in your case non cap as you have been cap counted. Link to comment
qpid Posted August 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2011 one of the advantage i can see with new H1B is that time i spent with my old H1B in US will not be counted as i have a gap of more than 1 year. if i renew my expired old H1B, my previous stay would also be counted. What is the timeline for Renewing an expired H1B is same as getting a new H1B ? Link to comment
pontevecchio Posted August 31, 2011 Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 L1 time plus H1 time is 6 years. If you have been out for one year you can have your employer file a fresh h1 cap subject petition. Link to comment
