H1b Extension - Important Aspects
Hi Friends,
A Very Warm Happy New Year 2012 to All of You.
I would like to seek one quick clarification in content of H1B extension.
Content - My H1B visa cum Approval Notice expires this year in Sept 2012
My understanding (based on whatever I could understand from reading) is that –
1. H1B extension benefit – one can get 3 more years without applying for fresh H1B in new quota.
Pls verify whether above statement is correct or not.
2.One needs to be in USA for filing extension.
This would mean H1B extension cannot be filed from India. (I have got conflicting responses)
Pls verify whether above statement is correct or not.
3. What’s best strategy to make sure extension is dealt with appropriately?
Example:
Should I stay in USA in project till Sept 2012 or until I get extension (in case extension comes after Sept 2012)?
Or Can I go back to India and later on should come for another project to USA before Sept 2012?
Or Stay in India and get my extension filed from India (in case its possible)?
I would love to go back now to India but don’t want to do it at cost of my H1B extension.
Pls share your views. Thanks.
