I am currently in the second year of my H1B visa as on March 24 2007 doing research work for hospital "A" .Hospital "A" sponsored my H1B from 1 Aug 2005 to 1 Aug 2008.
I will accept a 3 year medical residency offer from Hospital 'B' in Novermber 2007. But Hospital 'B' wants me to join them from June 2008.
Now till June 2008 I Will complete almost my 3 years of H1B visa which was sponsored by Hospital "A" and from that time onwards I have 3 more years to do residency --- which will bring me the end of my medical residency as well as my maximum 6 year period of H1B visa.
So now my concern is to save as much time as possible for H1B visa even if I have to leave my Hospital "A".
Lets say if I leave my Hospital "A" in November to go for vacationing in my home country for 1 month ---- Will this 1 month count towards 6 yr H1 period ?
Also Can I file for H1 transfer after quitting the hospital 'A" in Dec 2007 and spending the time till June 2008 in My home country preparing for H1B visa for Hospital "B" ?
How long can you stay on active H1B visa outside USA ?
What would be the best step to take in this case if my prime concerns are (1) NEW JOB STARTING JUNE 2008 and (2) Get the time from November 2007 till June 2008 towards my 6 year of H1B if I am ready to spend this entire period outside the US ( in my home country )
