In the past, I was in US with company A on H1 for 5.5 yrs and went back in 2010. After that I joined company B and traveled to US in 2014 on L1A. I was out of US for 3+ years.
In many threads it is referred that H1+L1 stay period is counted towards stay limit. For time reset, new visa with cap limit is necessary after 1 yr of out of US stay(at least my interpretation).
My total stay in US is close to 6.5 yrs on H1+L1 with out of US stay of 3+ years in between during transition from H1 to L1.
For my current L1A stay limit of 7 years - should the H1 years are also counted i.e. I have another 6 months left over
or L1A is new visa (with no cap), the stay time is reset during my out of US stay and I have 7 - current stay period?
Thank you.
