I need advise from this forum experts on my current situation.
I got my L1B visa in 2010 and i worked in US till Sep 30 2015. My 5 year limit on L1B visa is expiring later this month and i left US on 1st Oct 2015.
Now, my employer is planning to file a new H1b visa next year and i need to know if my clock would be reset and if i would get a full 6 year term if selected in lottery.
Here are the important dates:
Date left US: 1st Oct 2015
5 year limit L1b expiration date: 28 Oct 2015
I understand that there should be a 1 year cooling off period after leaving US in order to apply for a new visa. Since new H1B is valid from 1st Oct 2016, would i get a 6 year term?
Please advise
Thanks
