Hi, I am on H1 visa and which is valid till Jan 2011. I will be completing 6 years by Jan 2011. I heard that if I say out side of the country for 1 year, I can stay for 6 more years on the same visa. Basically my question is that if we stay out side of country for one year does the 6 years limit on the H1 reset/ start again on the same visa?
Lets say if I go outside of the country in Sep 2009 and come back again on Sep 2010. Then when I apply for extension will I be getting for more than a year..? Can I stay for six more years on the same H1 or should I apply for a new one?
