Thank You redbus2us for giving us a nice platform to get answer to our visa related question.
My question is related to the max duration for which I can stay in US if my H1B is 1.6 years old and I didn’t travel so far,
In other words, I got approval for my H1B from company xxx in Oct 2015, but due to some personal issue I couldn’t travel so far. (However I went for visa stamping in India on Nov 2015). Now I have got an offer from compnay yyy and they are ready to transfer my H1B and for my travel. My questions are
-
If company yyy get the visa transferred in next 2 months and send me to US by June 2017 (first travel on H1B), Do I need to go again for stamping?
-
If I travel first time on this transferred visa in June 2017, How long can I stay in US (Maximum duration), provided I haven’t traveled yet on this H1B even though I got my visa approval and stamping in Oct 2015.
Thanks!
Terry (from India).
