Moving Outside USA For A Year While H-1B Has Not Expired
Question details
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.
I have found Rajiv Khanna to be very forthcoming always. He has helped me numerous times on immigration issues and questions that we have had in the past. Unlike some other attonerys Rajiv takes the time to explain each issue. I would strongly recommend to use the services of the law offices of Rajiv Khanna to all.
