Hello everyone,
I have a question about my H1B Status.
I am from Canada and I first came to the U.S. in 2005
This is my employment history in the U.S. :
Employer Dates Total Visa
Medical College of Wisconsin July 2005 - Nov 2007 2 yrs, 5 months H-1B
Glenwood Resource Center March 2008 - March 2009 1 year, 1 month H-1B
Total 3 yrs, 6 months
Now essentially I have worked for 3 yrs and 6 months on an H1B visa.
The times I was not working I was either back in Canada or in the U.S. visiting on B-2 tourist visa.
I am trying to seek employment and get sponsored for H-1B again.
* My question is: Since H-1B can be used for a maximum of 6 years, do I have 2 yrs and 6 months left?
OR because I came July 2005, does my H-1B expire 6 years from that day, that being July 2011 ?
Not sure about this so I wanted to ask, thank you
