H1B clock reset

[nagstor]

Hi

 

I am currently on a valid H1B visa. I came back from the US in Feb 2013 and was in India till March 2015. My last visa extension started from 29 Sep 2014 to 1 Sep 2016. As per my travel dates I have another 2 years to complete my overall 6 year stay in US.

However, I wanted to know if my being outside of US for 2 years would Reset the Clock.

 

Thanks

The clock did not reset.

It would only reset if the person is abroad for at least a year and then gets a NEW H1 under the quota.

You got an extension, so your time did not reset.
