H1B Visa Renewal – Extension
H1B visa status can be granted initially for up to three years, and then can be
extended for another three years.
The normal maximum amount of time a foreign national can remain in the U.S. in
H1B visa status is six years.
Once the six year cap is reached, the foreign national must be physically outside the
U.S. for one full uninterrupted year in order to “reset” the 6 year clock.
240 Day Rule:
This is the H1B visa 240 day rule where an individual can continue to work for the
current employer for up to 240 days after the current H-1B visa expiration if he/she
is waiting for the USCIS decision.
8 C.F.R. § 274a.12(b)(20)
(20) A nonimmigrant alien within the class of aliens described in paragraphs (b)(2),
(b)(5), (b)(8), (b)(9), (b)(10), (b)(11), (b)(12), (b)(13), (b)(14), (b)(16), and
(b)(19) of this section whose status has expired but who has filed a timely
application for an extension of such stay pursuant to §§214.2 or 214.6 of this
chapter.
These aliens are authorized to continue employment with the same employer for a
period not to exceed 240 days beginning on the date of the expiration of the
authorized period of stay.
Such authorization shall be subject to any conditions and limitations noted on the
initial authorization.
This rule does not allow you to stay beyond the expiration date requested in the
petition for which you are awaiting the decision.
However, if the district director or service center director adjudicates the application
prior to the expiration of this 240 day period and denies the application for extension
of stay, the employment authorization under this paragraph shall automatically
terminate upon notification of the denial decision.
Note: If the H1B worker needs to travel during this time, they may not be able to
return until they receive the new H-1B Visa. Premium processing is a viable option in
this scenario.
Also Note: The 240 day rule is not a basis to renew the H-1B. It is rule that applies
only after a bona fide H-1B renewal petition has been filed.
In limited circumstances, H1B visa status can be extended beyond 6 years
if:
 The foreign national is the beneficiary of an approved I-140 petition.
 The foreign national is the beneficiary of a PERM petition or I-140
petition that was filed over 365 days ago.
 The foreign national is recapturing time spent outside the US during
the past 6 years in H-1B status.

CLIENT REVIEWS

Used the services of this office for Green Card through AOS and was
mainly in contact with John Dorer. I was unsure about their services at
first, considering the unusually affordable cost but was pleasantly
surprised by their prompt responses to all our questions and their
timely preparing and handling of our documents! Will be using their
services again when filing for removal of condition! Definitely
recommended!

I was very pleased with their professional service from the beginning
to the end for my citizenship application. I am a professional working
in the higher education and somewhat familiar with the immigration
process. For that reason, I was thinking of applying it by myself but I
found Taylor and Associates whose service fee is very affordable and
worth of my time. Indeed, they found some of minor mistakes in my
application, which could have delayed much longer for my application
process. Luckily, they caught and fixed them immediately. Their
communication was excellent. In fact, everything was very smooth.
Even after I had the approval notice, they followed up with valuable
advices. I strongly recommend their service if you need immigration
services. Thank you Marc and John for your excellent services.

I've had the pleasure of conducting business with this law firm for the
last 10 years. They have been nothing but the best for every aspect of
immigration need I had. From F1 all the way to citizenship. They're
probably the most affordable, knowledgeable, and most efficient
immigration law firm out there. Plus, they always provide responses to
questions in a very timely manner. Trust me, other immigration law
firms will cost you an arm and a leg for the same or less of a service
compared to this law firm. Give them a call, check out their website.
You will not regret it.

Because of John and his team my wife and I were able to travel back
to the states, get married and have a Green Card without any
headaches. John’s efforts were amazing and it shows because my wife
and I didn’t have to go to the Green card interview. We had a strong
enough case to receive the Green card in the mail. If you’re seeking a
Lawyer that will be impartial, he’s your guy.

I could not have asked for better service. I will definitely be coming
back to get the green card process done. The fees are extremely
reasonable and they stick with their clients the entire way. I had so
many questions during this process, and each one of them were
answered very quickly and with out most professionalism. This firm is
a pleasure to work with and I highly recommend them to anyone.

Marc and John Dorer worked on our case to file for AOS after our L1A
was approved.Marc and John are professionals and extremely
reasonable-priced. The reason they are able to cut the price is because
they don't spend time consulting you or guiding you and will never get
on call.All communications are email only, so if you know precisely
what you want they will do all the paper-work, follow the trail and get
the job done. If you are confused and need advice and consulting,
they may not be the right lawyers.But since we were doing our AOS, it
worked out perfectly well and they did their job extremely
professionally.Would recommend them every time to get the work
done.

At first I thought I could have very well gone through the green card
application process on my own and saved all lawyer fees. Its funny
how some lawyers can charge in excess of 2K for this. However at
Taylor and Associates the price seemed more reasonable and felt it
made sense to go with one at that price. There were some doubts that
arose in our mind which they cleared in a timely manner and seemed
very knowledgeable in this area. Its for moments like these when
having a professional around helps. While we can get busy with our
lives and with laws constantly changing, I would definitely recommend
them - a small price to pay for peace of mind.

Mark and team went above all my expectations of an 'online' service
agency I went in with very low expectations to match the low cost of
the service and was amazed that the experience was no different than
going through an expensive attorney. They were very prompt on
responses, very patient and also very knowledgeable on every facet of
the application (including a follow up checklist). I would highly
recommend them considering the low cost they charge and the high
risk we take by doing this ourselves

USVISANOW streamlined the paperwork which saved us so much
time. This also reduced the stress involved in filling out the paperwork.
They also are very understanding and respond very quickly to
questions and emails. Jackline is now a US citizen which took less than
5 months. Thank you Mr. Taylor and your team. From Brian and Jacky.

Marc and John helped me apply and get my green card. They are very
specific about needed documents and other details. Also, they are very
responsive when you have a question. I know I emailed them several
times just to ask questions that I could have found answers online
myself. They are very patient and professional. If you want to get
great services with reasonable fees contact them!
