CORNELL UNIVERSITY, 19 I&N Dec. 650 (Comm. 1987) ID 3062 (PDF) Regulations effective March 30, 1987, permit a total period of time in \H-1\ classification of only 5 years or, in some extraordinary circumstances, up to a maximum of 6 years. Extraordinary circumstances exist, in the case of a plasma physicist who is a key member of a research team, where it is shown that denial of an extension of stay would result in serious hardship to the petitioner and to research projects of national significance in which the petitioner is involved under contract with United States Government agencies.
