The maximum period of validity of the initial H-1B petition is three years and it often becomes necessary to obtain extensions of stay. Extensions of stay for up to three additional years can be obtained. To obtain an extension of stay, the employer or its representative must submit an application to the USCIS on forms I-129, H Supplement and I-129 H-1B Data Collection Supplement, the same forms used for the initial H-1B petition. Please note that supporting documentation must be resubmitted because USCIS will not go back and retrieve information/documentation from the initial H-1B petition.
