Is it possible to add back days outside of the US while you were an F-1 student?

    My H-1B expiration date is in Feb 2025. We added 20 days or so that I was outside the US during H-1B to get to Feb 2025 expiration date. Is it possible to include 60 days or so that I was outside the US while I was in F1 status? This will allow me to push the expiration date to April 2025.

      While you are at it, why not add 1/3 of your stay in the U.S. too? You’ve slept 1/3 of the days spending time in the dream world.

      I don’t think you can reclaim days outside US while you were on F-1 (other status than H1B) for your H1B extension.

      H1B active date is Oct 1st for this specific reason. Your days away from the US while on H1B, good. But bringing your F1 days to this equation won’t win you anything. But I think also you should prove those 20 days was without employment physically out of the US
