Help!! H1B 7th extension was denied

[george_anderson]

Hi,

I got my first H-1B starting from 05/2000. I changed my employer and my H-1B was extended as well in 2004. Somehow my H-1B expiration date on this extension was 01/2007 instead of 05/2006 by the BCIS mistake.

Last month when I filed my 7th year extension, BCIS denied my case and said I am not quailified for the extension because my expiration date is still far away.

My concern is if I will be out of status after 05/2006. And should I appeal this decision.


Thanks a lot!!
George

7th extention

as your aware that ur h1 6yr is going to end on 2006 , you should have informed INS about this with your attorney. Now you talk to your lawyer and so that he can send the complete details to INS saying that ur original 6yr expires on 2006 and basis on that you can apply for extension.

Note: I'm not a lawyer, its good to contact your lawyer
