JoeF Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 The time on L2 does not count towards the maximum time. Link to comment
varunraheja Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 As far as I remember, recently uscis decided not to count the time period spent on h4/l2 visa under the 6 year limit. I guess she should get her fresh 6 years. An attorney can confirm this. Link to comment

L2 period is not counted towards 6 years but even if she gets H1 it won't be for 6 yrs at one shot.Max she would get it for 3 yrs Link to comment
Attorney_22 Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 Time in L2 status will not be counted against the maximum period of H1B status. If you have additional questions please contact a qualified U.S. immigration attorney directly. Link to comment
livliv Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 Only H1 and L1 counts, L2 does not. Link to comment
