I have been working in H1B status for nearly six years, but I do not yet have any type of green card case filed for me. If I leave the U.S. for 1 year, can I then return on H1B status?

Generally speaking, if an H1B worker uses all six years of H1B time and has no PERM or I-140 filed on their behalf, they would need to leave the U.S. for one year and then go through the H1B lottery again. (14.May.2025)
