There is no rigid, absolute statutory day-limit on how many days an H-1B visa holder can remain outside the United States, but extended absences carry significant legal and immigration risks. Generally, absences exceeding 60 consecutive days can raise questions regarding whether you have maintained continuous employment and residency. Furthermore, extended trips can disrupt the continuous physical presence and time requirements needed for future Green Card applications or citizenship naturalization. H-1B holders should consult with their employer's immigration counsel before taking leaves of absence lasting longer than a few weeks.
