> The H1B terminates in a green card, after six years, quota willing. In fact, you don’t get an option in the matter.

What? Most do, because usually people want to stay. But H1B does not “terminate in a green card” and you 100% have an option in the matter (you have to sign the I485…).

You don’t get the option to renew an H1B more than once. If you don’t go the green card path, then what? You are going back home?
Sure if that’s what you meant, then yeah. Imho that’s a weird way to put it.

You can renew indefinitely with an approved I140, btw (typical for backlogged Indians) (not that this doesn’t suck).
