Hi,
I would like to know what are the risks involved in going out of country for one year, after finishing 6 years on H1B. I do have a labor cert pending for more than 365 days by the time my H1B expires.
But I wanted to consider the possibility of leaving US and returning to US after one year, thereby resetting the H1 clock. If I leave US at the end of 6 year period:
1. can my GC (labor cert) proceed ? My company is willing to process GC as I will be working for this same company from a different location outside US
2. Is there tax implications
3. What are chances of H1B rejection from CIS ?
4. If CIS approves H1B (I-797), what are chances of H1B rejection at a US consulate ; in UK; or at Chennai, India
Basic thing I wanted to make sure is that the fact that I left US should not be construed by CIS/DOL as an abandonment of my intention for permanent residency.
appreciate all help & pointers.
