More details to this question:
I have been on an H1B visa for 5 and half years with the same company. I am applying for an extension for 6 more months then I will leave the country. What are my chances of getting approved? What are reasons that I maybe denied? I have never had problems before but am worried because 6 months is a short time
U.S.C.I.S. will not deny an H-1B extension application just because it is only asking for six more months. The agency is well aware that six years is the maximum time given on H-1B stays in this country under most situations. So if you are applying for another six months from the same company, there is little reason why it should not be approved.
