My h1b extension has been getting approved for only 6 months for the past one year as the SOW provided by client was only 6 months each time. Currently not on a project and applying for h1b....

Op: I don’t think it’s always tied to your SOW. For example, when my previous extension was in process, they extended it for next 18 months (with that I will complete 6 years on h1b) although I was on a project with SOW 3 months. My co-worker was on bench and going through the process, and he got extended by 3 years (he had I 140). These are just 2 personal examples I know if that helps.

Thank you this helps !

I think if you are in between projects and file based on local office you will get max duration.

It should now automatically be for 3 years (assuming you have 140) with or without a SOW becauer the memo that uscis was using to hand out these short term h1b's has been declared null and void by a district judge. So, unless the uscis approaches an appeals court that grants a stay on the district judge's decision while it evaluates the case, the memo can no longer be used. Uscis has also been denied the right to use such memos in the future and has to now make a formal rule through the rule making process as well

Thanks , this gives me hope !

again . This time there is no SOW. Does this increase or decrease my changes of getting an approval till the validity period of 2022? Please suggest

Jao Corona jao👐🏻🙌🏻🙏🏻

Kuch bhi !
