H1-B six year limit

[veena venkat]

Hi netters,

I have spent 5 years on my current H1-B visa. I am getting an opportunity to work in India for one and half years. If I take that and go out of USA for one and half year, will I get a new 6 year limit, when I come back after that period. Please help me. I have to decide now to act fast

Yes, you will be eligible for a new 6yr H1 work permit if you stay out of US for
one year continously.

What will prove that one did not work in the US for 1 year
(or one was outside the country for one year)

Visa stamps in the passport reflect entry and exit dates.
