Find answers to your legal question.





what is the maximum duration of non-profit H1B visa?

Is the maximum duration of non-profit H1b same as the for-profit H1b , which is 6 years? what do I need to do if i wanna extend beyond 6 years or apply for 2nd term? If i work for a certain period with non-profit and then change status to for-profit H1b..will the initial non-profit duration also counted towards 6 years period?

actually, while you can remain in status as an H1b, the visa itself is tied to the validity of the petition, and the maximum amount of time for is three years. obviously, it can be renewed up to 6 years.

In theory, the maximum duration of the H-1B visa is six years (ten years for exceptional Defense Department project-related work). H-1B holders who want to continue to work in the U.S. after six years, but who have not obtained permanent residency status, must remain outside of the U.S. for one year before reapplying for another H-1B visa.

exceptions to the six-year duration of the H-1B visa::

If a visa holder has submitted an I-140 immigrant petition or a labor certification prior to their fifth year anniversary of having the H-1B visa
If the visa holder has an approved I-140 immigrant petition, but is unable to initiate the final step of the green card process due to their priority date not being current
