Answer

Yes, but there are specific limitations and considerations under the regulations implemented in January 2025. If you own more than 50 percent of the petitioning company or have majority voting rights, the USCIS will limit the initial H1B approval to a maximum of 18 months. A subsequent extension, including an amended petition with an extension request, also will be limited to 18 months. (07.May.2025)
