Can I “recapture” time I spent outside of the U.S. during my H-1B eligibility to buy more time in that status after the end of my six years?
In some circumstances, aliens who have reached the end of their six year H-1B eligibility, but who have spent significant periods of time outside of the U.S. during that time, may be able recapture time spent outside the U.S. The CIS requires that the time spent outside the U.S. be “meaningfully interruptive” of the alien’s H-1B employment (e.g., sick leave but not vacations).
