How long Can I stay in India after H-1 stamping

[GCEAD04]

Hi ,

I'm staying in US for last 5 years.I came on F-1 visa and now i'm on H-1 Visa.My LC and I 140 is cleared.Now i have to apply for h-1 extension.I have another 3 years of H-1 period left.I'm planning to get the new H-1 Papers and get the visa stamped in mexico and wants to visit india next year begining.In last 5 years i never visited india.This will be my first visit after i came to US.

Actually i'm planning to stay back in india till my PD is current. Once it becomes current i will come back to US and apply for 485.But i'm not aware how long can i stay in india.Is there any law which cancels my h-1 if i don't return after some period of time.

My employer has no issues with this.He will not cancel my h-1.I will get my h-1 stamped for another 3 years.I want to go back india and try some business over there.Once my PD is current i will be back to US.


My concern is How long Can any one stay in India after H-1 stamping?Is there any guide lines on this.If any one knows this rules can let me know...

Thanks,

There is no specific guideline. You have to come back to the US before H1 petition gets invalid for extension. However you should be prepared reason ready if you are asked how you could be away from US employer such a long time upon entry and also extension.
