All H1b extension posts here

[racoon786]

Are you a full-time employee? I am in the same boat and am about to apply for H1-B extension based on I-140 approval. I am in EVC model and my client has given a letter with 1 year project extension only. Is there anyway I can get a full 3yr extension? I am tired to doing these one year extensions.

I understand. I got 2.5 yrs extension. My understanding, usually USCIS gives extension based upon client letter. Good wishes!

Hi,

I am in India and just got my first H1B approval which is valid till April 2013. I shall be coming to US in April this year. Please let me know the process for H1B extension.

Does it depend on the annual cap that is there on H1? What if it gets full?

When and how can I apply for the extension?

Any info that you guys can provide would be great.

Thanks for help.

Hi vibpar: Welcome aboard.

Once H1B is approved then it is not subject to any quotas for renewals. Your company will have to file for your extension at least 4 months before the expiry date (I would recommend 6 months) as sometimes USCIS takes longer now days. Unless you want to file for Premium Processing which would cost you/your company approx $1200 extra. Your company attorney would file for your extension with the USCIS, so this should not be of any concern for you now.

Hello,

I am new to these forums so i apologies if this is not the right thread for this sort of discussion. Here is the situation

Visa Valid till : April 3, 2013
I-94 Valid till: April 3, 2013

My employer is already starting the H1B Extension process using regular processing. Here are the questions i have:

1. In case visa extension is denied well before my I94 expires, can i stay in US till april 3, 2013? or do i have leave

country immediately upon denial of extension?
2. In case extension is denied, what are my options? provided i have time left in my I-94 expiry? Visa transfer? Repeal of

extension?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks a lot.

Regards.
