Moving Outside USA For A Year While H-1B Has Not Expired
I have a valid H-1B until April 2014. I left my employment with my company March 2013 and we were in the process of applying for the GC. I did not have time to find another employer and file a GC application before entering my final year. Therefore even if I transferred my H-1B I still would have had to leave in 2014. Therefore I have decided to come back to England for a year and reapply when I have completed 365 days out. I have 2 questions:
1) Does my time start from when I left the US or do I have to cancel my H-1B?
2) If I go back to visit, I assume I just visit under the visa waiver?
1. The one year out starts when you leave USA.
2. It may be best not to visit during that year.
Mr. Khanna and his team have been processing my H1B application this year and I only have words of gratitude for them. You really feel like they care about you and are always willing to give you the best service. I had some questions about travelling outside the USA during the CAP-GAP extension. Eugene set up a conference call with Mr. Khanna right away and they answered all my questions and also sent me an email with the USCIS regulations that covered these issues. I would highly recommend this firm to anyone in a similar situtation.
