Hi,
1. I got my H1B Visa stamped in 2008 and valid till 2010 Sept and i travelled to USA only begining of Sept 2010. Usually H1B is valid for maximum of 6 years, so in my case the time i had not spent working in US is also counted for the H1B duration?
2. My employer has applied for H1B extension and the approval might take 2-3 months. I am forseeing a travel to India because of mother health. Can i travel and come back to USA while my H1B extension is pending? To Re-enter USA, i have to go for an H1B stamping again which might create issues while H1B extension is pending. Many people suggested me not to travel but due to personal reasons i may be forced to travel, is there any way out?
Thanks,
Srinivas
