Hello,
I got my first H1b in the year 2003, then extended in 2006 upto the year 2009. I have been working in US from Oct'2003 to till date. During this period, I was away from US for more than 1 year (that is Jul'04 to Sep'05), reentered US in Sep'2005.
Now my questions are,
In 2009, can I again extend my existing H1 for another 3 years since I was in India for more than 1 year within the year 2003-2009. ?
The six years time gap is counted from Oct'2003 onwards? Or from Sep'2005 onwards?
Could anyone please provide your suggestions.?
Thank you,
Deepak
