H1-B Extension Query
Hi,
I went through the discussion forum and was not able to get answers related to my specific question on my current H1-B extension.
Right now, I have my H1 visa extension notice which is due for expiration in Nov. 2007.
This same H1-B Visa has been extended 3 times so far (in Nov. 1999, Nov. 2001 and Nov 2004).
I need to know if it can be extended again.
Below are the details of my stay in USA and outside USA during this period =>
1. I worked in USA on H1-B Visa from June 1999 to Mar 2002 (Total 2 years and 9 months stay in USA).
2. Then I went back to India and worked in India from Mar 2002 to July 2004 ((Total 2 years and 4 months
outside USA).
3. Since July 2004 till date, I am working in USA on H1-B Visa (Total 3 Years in USA).
So can my current H1-B visa be extended again?
Note: I do not wish to apply for Green Card.
Regards,
Danny

Under the existing H1 status rules and provision, you are allowed a
new 6 years (3 years + 3 years for renewal/extension) since you
indicated that your had left USA for than a year since the first H1
issued. Whether you wish to apply for GC or not is a moot point since
H1 allows dual intent.
