H1b Visa Extension Query

[sandeep1982]

Hi,

My current H1b is expiring in April 2018.

I was in the USA in H1B from Sept 2008 till Oct 2009 for company A and returned back to India. Post that I have filed an H1 extension for Company B and have been in the USA since June 2013 till now.

I want to know if I will be eligible for 1 more year of H1b extension post April 2018, since I will complete 5 years in the USA from June 2013 to April 2018. Or will my H1B not be extended since I have already used 1 year from 2008 to 2009.

Thanks in advance for your help

A H1 Cap is valid for 6 years time in US. Calculate the total time spent in US using the cap of 2008.

This is my opinion not legal advice.
