H1B Visa 6 years Reset

Recommended Posts

I have few clarification about my H1B visa term validity.

My first H1B visa initiated on 2006 and I was in US on H1B from 2007 - 2010 (A & B company) i.e.

2007 - 2008 - A Company

2008 - 2010 - B Company (Transfered H1 B Visa and valid till Jan 2012)

For 6 Years H1B Visa I was in US for around 3 years.

On Dec 2010 I went back to India and joined C company and got H1b transfer before my previous visa expired.

Then again I came to USA on May 2012 (It mean moved back to India and stayed out of US for more than 1 year)

My question is

1. Will my H1b clock get reset ?

2. Am I eligible to stay 6 years starting from May 2012 ?

Awaiting for response.

Thanks,

Sri

Thanks for response,

If you see my first above message I was in out of country for more then 1 year when I joined C company in India

Dec 2010 to May 2012

After transferred my H1B visa from B to C company then I came back to US on May 2012.

Just confirm for this scenario will my H1B visa clock get reset?

Awaiting for response

And that's why your time is NOT reset.

To reset the time, you have to be abroad for over one year, and THEN get a new H1 under the cap.

By doing just a transfer, your time abroad became useless.
