My 6 year H1B term is expiring in May-05. During this 6 year period, i was out of the country for 5 months totally. I am planning to reclaim this period so that i can H1 ext for 5 more months. Has anyone encountered this situation and extended their H1 based on the time period when they were out of the country? Does INS approve these type of ext request without any problems and whar are the documentation they will ask for ?
