H1B extension after 6years without GC filing

[Tust326]

Hi all

My current employer refused to sponser for GC and I have just over a year of my h1b visa left (of my 6 year term). Following are my questions

1. The time that I went to India on vacations, can that time period be extended?

2. If I change my job, and the new employer does not want to sponser GC upto a year, by that time my h1b will be over, can i extend my h1b (without filing for gc)?

I appreciate for your time.

1. Yes

2. H1 extensions beyond the allowable 6 are based on PERM pending 365 days plus or I-140 pending 365 says plus(I year extensions) or approved I-140.(3 year extension
