dhanajeyan85 Posted November 13, 2022 Report Share Posted November 13, 2022 I have been in USA since Sep-2012 to Aug-2016, and went to India for personnel reasons but had a visa till Sep-2018. However I could not return to the USA with in Sep-2018 and in 2022 found another employer who were willing to H1-B sponsorship under Cap Exempt and got visa and came back to the USA in July-2022. My question, Am I still continuing my cycle of 6 years of H1-B. or the cycle has reset now? Thanks in Advance Quote Link to comment
pontevecchio Posted November 14, 2022 Report Share Posted November 14, 2022 Since you got a visa exempt H1 petition approved, you are entitled to a remainder option of 2 years. The cycle can only be reset if you leave for one full year and then get a H1 petition approved via the lottery. Quote Link to comment
JoeF Posted November 14, 2022 Report Share Posted November 14, 2022 Because you got a cap-exempt H1 the previous 6-year cycle continues. If the H1 has been filed in the quota then you would have gotten a new 6 years. Quote Link to comment
