sasikumarv Posted June 15, 2013 Report Share Posted June 15, 2013 Please help me to clarify the below.My current H1 visa is valid until September 2015. I want to know how many years I can continuously stay in USA without filing the GC and applying only with extensions. I have made the below US travels and I'm in an assumption that my 6 years clock got reset between trip 3 & trip 4. I'm assuming I can stay stay around 3 and half years without applying GC,but some of my co-workerS are telling clock reset may not apply if you are on the same petition even though we have 1 year gap.

alladisk Posted June 17, 2013 Report Share Posted June 17, 2013 Me too having the same question, I got conflicting information on 6 yrs clock reset. My h1 approved in 2007, valid from Oct 2007 to sept 2010 I got stamping in Aug 2008 trip 1 5 months sept 30-2008 to feb-28-2008 trip 2 38 months apr 20-2010 to jun-2013. I was under impression that i have still 2 years, but some of my co workers say that is not the case, my visa expires in sept 2013. I did not applied GC so far. Do i have another 2 years for another extension ? If Not what are the options left to applie for GC ? I have only 3 months left on current visa. Link to comment
