Hi All
I am on H1 B. My company wants to start a development center in India, and wants me to go to India (for a period of time) to help set up. Please note that while in India, I will continue to be an employee of my company in US. I am to return to US after setting up our company's India operations.
1. Since the max time you can be on H1 (ignoring extensions) is 6 years, would the time I spend in India (lets say x months) be counted? (From what I know - please correct if I am mistaken - , any time spent outside US wont count )
2. Another rule states that your 'clock' (for H1 B) gets 'reset' when you have been out of US for a year. If that is so, would a stay in India for a year, reset my H1 timeout?
tx in adv.

PS: When in India, I will continue to be on my company's H1.
