deadzone Posted July 25, 2014 Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 So here's my situation... - 6yr H1B was to expire on July-30, 2013 - Departed US on July-15th, 2013 (technically still have 15 days left on my H1) - Working for same company in Europe eversince - Have stayed out of US for > 365 days - PERM application pending for more than one year - Too many PERM petitions filed by my employer have been audited - Spouse working in US on H1B Question is... - If I take a sabbatical from my job and return back to US on H4 - and request current or some other future employer to apply for fresh H1 in Apr-2015 - would I be eligible for a further 6yrs H1B visa? I understand... - that new H1 will allow me to start work only on Oct 1st, 2015 - that I can return back to US on a 1yr H1 since PERM is pending for more than a year - but do not want to take the risk of getting stuck in audit/SR limbo Would be very grateful for all those folks sharing their domain expertise! _K Link to comment
