  • H1 conversion to L2 back to H1

    I'm currently on L2 visa with a valid EAD. I converted from H1 last December 2017 & my maximum stay with H1 is March 2018. Basically, I still have ~3 months left before my 6-year limit with H1. Question is, what happened with my H1 after I converted to L2? Is it still valid in case I need to convert back to H1 even if it's expired already (expired on March 2018)? Does my stay here in the US count using my L2 visa when I convert back to H1? Meaning my remaining 3 months for H1 is consumed already using my L2? Thanks in advance for your feedback!

    If it is not revoked by your employer, its still valid.

    Not sure what do you mean by this.

    No, On H1 you are allowed to "work & get paid" for 6 years - since you are not working on L2 visa it won't be counted.

      No.


      Thanks Libra_14. I'm actually working right now using my L2 visa after I obtained my EAD. Just wondering if I need to convert back to my H1 again, would I be able to use it?
