Mohan_Kumar_S Posted December 9, 2019 Report Share Posted December 9, 2019 Hi, I stayed in US in L1-B visa close to 2 years till 08/29/2014. My L1-B extension got denied and went back to India on 08/29/2014. But the same year, my H1-B got approved in CAP (2014 H1-CAP - Receipt Dt: 04/21/2014, Approved on 05/30/2014) and approved to work from 10/01/2014. However I am unable to travel to US due to position got closed at Client A. My employer filed amendment for Client B and got approved to work from 01/22/2016 (Receipt Dt: 06/24/2015, Approved on 01/22/2016). I traveled on 05/21/2016 (my first H1-B entry; My last exist on L1-B is 08/29/2014 = A gap of 1 year 9 months). Please let me know how to calculate my max out date. Will it include my L1-B stay or just H1-B alone. Appreciate your help on this. Thank you, Mohan Kumar Quote Link to comment
JoeF Posted December 9, 2019 Report Share Posted December 9, 2019 The clock did not reset since the H1 was filed when you were still in the US. The time on L1 is included, so your max H1 time is 6 years minus the time on L1. Quote Link to comment
Mohan_Kumar_S Posted December 13, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2019 My employer gave the below reply. Is it correct? Since he has spent more than 365 days outside the US and then travelled to the US on H-1B status in May 2016, he is entitled to a whole new 6 years of H-1B time starting from 21st May 2016 Quote Link to comment
