Total stay in US

[akja]

I have a question regarding my stay in USA.

1. I have come to USA in Dec-2010 on L-1B and worked untill Sep-2013 on L-1B.

2. From October-2013 , i have moved to H-1B and working till now on H-1B but my H-1B is till Sep-2014.

3. So i will be completing my total stay in USA of 3 yrs & 9-months in Sep-2014.

4. For whole period, i have worked for the same employer.

Can i apply for H-1B Visa extension? In total how long can i stay on Visa without processing Green card.

Kindly suggest and share your experience.

Regards,

Seems you still have 2 Years 3 Month remaining on H1. So yes it seems your employer can file for extension. L1+H1 max can be for 6 Years so you have only 2 Years 3 Months remaining, if you dont apply GC within next 1 Year then you most probably would have to leave at the end of the 6th Year physical stay completion.

This is my opinion not legal advice.

Thanks , just want to add 1-more point is that i didn't go for H-1b Visa stamping after move to H-1B in Oct 2013.
Is there any issue in H1b extension if i don't have first time visa stamping ?

please suggest,
Thanks
