Hi,
I need to understand below situation. Please advise.
1. With the current approved H1B petition, I will be completing 4.5 years of my 6 years quota ( with petition approval notice and stamped visa valid till Dec 2016 )
2. Suppose, I stay out of USA for one year and plan to return on April 2016 to work in USA, can I still use my existing petition to work for my Current employer?
If Yes, Do I have to still work for the same Client? or can i work for other client ( upon LCA,etc... ) through same employer?
3. based on question 2, If it is Yes and If I apply for an extensions/Renewal, would I be eligible for only 1.5 years of extension ? or I will be allowed for 6 years?
4. If it is 6 years, Will I be Cap exempt ( since I am out of US for more than 1 year and still hold an approved petition ). Or, I need to file a fresh h1b petition in April (going thru lottery)
5. While being out of USA, can I still use my existing petition to perform H1B transfer to another employer from outside USA ( if i have a job offer from new US employer )
I140 is not yet filed.
Please advise.
