Service Center Operations Update - 08/23/04
Service Center Operations informs that a request for an H-1B extension beyond the sixth year, under the 2002 DOJ Authorization legislation that amended AC21, must be filed no less than 365 days after the date that the labor certification application was filed. If it is filed before the 365 days have run, it is subject to denial, even if the extension would not take effect until after the 365 days.
