Ugly Rumors
By Robert S. Whitehill on January 4, 2018
The American Competitiveness in the Twenty First Century Act of 2000 (AC21) has provisions that extend H-1B visas beyond the 6-year limit for those in the process of becoming US lawful permanent residents. AC21’s Section 106(a) allows H-1B extensions in 1-year increments beyond the 6-year limit if a labor certification, immigrant visa petition (I-140) or employment-based adjustment of status (I-485) application was filed more than 365 days prior to the expiration of the H-1B status. Section 104(c) of the statute allows 3-year extensions for those whose I-140 has been approved and whose priority date precludes the filing of an adjustment of status application.
