krish2788 Posted January 11, 2020 Report Share Posted January 11, 2020 My H1B visa is going to expire in March 2020 which is also maxing out at the same time. Due to this I am planing to go India by end of Jan 2020. I would like to know, if My employer file extension from India after 1 year of cooling period under exempt, would this reset my H1B 6 year clock? Has anyone gone through same kind of situation?

JoeF Posted January 13, 2020 Report Share Posted January 13, 2020 After 1 year abroad, you can either get the remainder of the H1 if there is any without going through the quota, or you can get a new 6 years by going through the quota. Quote Link to comment
User099 Posted January 14, 2020 Report Share Posted January 14, 2020 Just staying outside doesn't reset your clock, you will have to go thought the lottery again to get a fresh 6 years after staying outside for 1 year. Quote Link to comment
giri26 Posted January 14, 2020 Report Share Posted January 14, 2020 No extending your current H1 will only give you reminder of the H1B time you have left now. If you want to get a fresh 6 year term, you would need to go through the lottery for H1B filed at least after a year of absence from US. Quote Link to comment
cyberlord Posted January 20, 2020 Report Share Posted January 20, 2020 is your I-140 approved, then you are cap exempt/eligible for unlimited extensions Quote Link to comment
