I am on H1B for 4yrs. I want to go to canada for a year.
If I come back after a year, will I get a new H1B for 6yrs ?
Or do I have to continue my old H1 for the remaining time
of 2 yrs( or 1 yr? Does anybody know?

thanks,
Sammy!!
 
If you are out of the US for one year the 6 year clock resets. It must be one year though, time in the US does not count (regardless of your status) and 364 days is not good enough.
 
7th year extension

Jim,

Can you pl help me with question....

Please help.....

My 5+ years H1B term is over. I have Labor pending for last 2 years in NJ. Not sure of approval(got RFE/NOF). Planning to apply for Labor from Ohio in 2 weeks. My lawyer says I will get 7th year extension even if NJ Labor is rejected, becuase of Ohio Labor application pending.

Can any one please confirm.......

Thanks for any help..
