umjain2007 Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 Hello Friends, My issue is pretty straighforward. I stayed in United States for 7 years on L1 visa. . I returned from United States on 11th April 2014 (5 days before my Visa expiration date) to return back to India. Can I apply my H1 Visa this year i.e 1st April 2015 (11 days short of 1 year) ? Anyone know if I need to complete one year before I file H1 or before reentering USA. Any prompt help will be highly appreciated. There is a lot of money involved in my H1 processing and there is no point in going ahead if I am not even elligible this year. Kind Regards, umjain Link to comment
ashuneel Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 You need to complete one year before filing H1. Why are you concerned about the money involved. Leave that to your employer. Link to comment
jairichi Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 Only on 11th April 2015 you are eligible to apply for a cap subject H1B petition. If USCIS has stopped accepting applications by then only next year. Link to comment
pontevecchio Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 Your sponsor can apply after April,11 if applications are still being accepted. They need to make sure it is past 365 days after you left. Link to comment
