Under what circumstances does the six-year clock start over?
The clock is reset if you physically leave the US for one year. The year must be consecutive, except for brief and innocent trips to the USA (such as vacations or short business trips). The clock is NOT reset if: You change status within the US. Only being physically outside the US resets the clock. You leave the US for six months, then return with your H-1B, and leave again for six months. Only a more or less consecutive time counts. You leave the US for four months, then travel to the US for a one month vacation, and then want to return after another seven months. You have to add the time spent inside the US to the time. In this example, your six year clock would be reset after another eight months.
