H-1B Sustained — Unspecified (2022): the Director incorrectly calculated the beneficiary's

Decision Summary

The appeal was sustained because the Director incorrectly calculated the beneficiary's six-year maximum period of stay. The Director had shortened the requested validity period by improperly excluding travel days from the time that could be 'recaptured.' The AAO recalculated the beneficiary's time in the U.S. and abroad, determined that the petitioner's originally requested end date was permissible, and approved the full period.
