i140 Question

[Sam050215]

Hi,

I have my I410 approved (priority date of 2017). MY last extn was based on this i140 (after 6 yrs ) and is valid till dec 2020.

If I leave for India in June 2020, would I be able to come back later after dec 2020 using the same H1 (in which I had 6 months remaining) (with same of diff employer)

Thanks

No, you will have to file a new H1 and get a visa if your visa is expired and travel back. You will be cap exempt. Same applies for both same or diff employers.

Your last extension is valid till DEC 2020 so if you want to come back to USA after DEC 2020 you need to apply for H1B extension using I140( if it is active) get visa stamped.
