At what situation, one can H-1 transfet not a new H-1 application?
My case is like this:
My h-1 will expire next september (sep, 2007), and I have one year left for H-1 (it will be 6years on september, 2008), if I found a job by the end of this year (Dec, 2006), can I do H-1 transfer for a valid period around 1.5years (up to 6 years of total H-1) instead of several months (the valid date is same as my current H-1)?
I mean it is required that H-1 transfer has same valid period as one's current H-1? My ois when you can do H-1 transfer and what circumstance, oeople have to do a new H-1 application not a H-1 transfer?
I am in academic, I plan transfer to another university? Thanks
