The important dates for the case is as below:
OCT'03 - Got my fresh H1B Petition.
Jan'04 - Came to USA .
Nov'06 - Got my H1 extended
Oct'09 - Expiry Date on current petition and on Stamped Visa.
All through out, I am still with the same employer.
Now based on the above information, I have few questions as below:
(1) If I transfer my H1 now with other employer, will I get the transfered Visa till Oct'09 or it will also include my remaining days for 6 years. So in this case as I came to US in Jan'04 and went about 2 months on vacation in middle, will I get it extended till March 2010 ?
(2) Suppose the answer to the 1st question is March 2010 then if I go back to India now after the transfer, can I file for a new H1 application through lottery system from another employer next year(2009)?
(3) If the answer to 2nd question is YES, then suppose I get my new H1 application through lottery system and I come back to US after spending one year in India , will I get my 6 years reset so that I can stay in US for 6 more years on new H1B without having to go through GC process.
The reason I am asking the above question is that I am trying to stay in US for 4-5 more years without going through the GC processing.
