H1 extension beyond 6th year VISA(urgent)

[Mailtskarthik]

Hello,

My Perm was filed on Apr 2011 and it was denied in dec 2011 and an appeal was made on the perm.

Meanwhile i had applied for extension based on my vacation days that i have been out of the country in the 6 years of my H1B VISA.

But when i received the extension that i had applied to reclaim vacation days to my surprise it has been given for 3 years instead of just the vacation days.

Ideally i have heard from folks that the extension will be initially for my vacation days that i have been out of country in my H1 time and then i need to get yearly extension based on my denied perm appeal.

Given this situation is the extension good or do i need to do something else by checking with USCIS? Also based on this extension can i go to india and stay there for an year and get back.

Can someone please advise.

Thanks,

TSK.

although USCIS gave more years by mistake,it is your responsibility to address the situation and not to use the extra dates given as legal status. this was mentioned in one of the bulletin on murthy website. Onus is always on beneficiary although USCIS makes a mistake on validity dates
