  • How many years H1B is valid ?

    Hello Friends,

    I enter US in June 2008 and got transfer to H1B from L1 on october 2011.my Curent status is H1B visa .My question is I am still eligilble to work next 6 years in US i.e June 2017 on H1 B. OR my H1B will expire to Jun 2014 (Is Combination of L1+H1 = 6years work in US) current stamping date is June 2014.

    Also when should my employer should fill for my GC?

    Please advise.

    Regards,

    6 years is always L1 + H1, so your L1 stay should also be counted.

    You can file GC any time if your employer is willing...

      H1B + L1 in total is for 6 years. If you are planning to extend your H1B beyond the 6th year, then the PERM should have been filed 365 days prior to the end of the 6th year. If the PERM is filed in the 6th year, then you will need the I-140 approval before the end of the 6th year to file the 7th year extension.
