H1 -> H4 -> H1

What is the name of your state? NJ

Lawyer Lana,

For the visa status adjustment from H1 to H4 and then back to H1, is there a time window requirement for the person stay on H4 status? I heard that the person must stay on H4 for ONE YEAR before he can adjust back to H1 status. Is it true?

Thanks a lot.

No, absolutely NOT true.

Attorney Lana,

Thank you so much for your reply.

I need to discuss the H1B sponsorship with the prospective employers during my interviews. I wonder whether they can use my previous H1B quota to file the new petition.

Thank you so much!

You are not subject to the quota if you have been previously counted against the quota.

Please let me know if you have any additional questions or how I can be of further assistance to you in this matter.
