US H1B visa is a non-immigrant visa - it is meant only for employers to be able to hire from overseas for a short period of time up to 6 years maximum. It is meant to benefit the employer when qualified workers cannot be found locally. It is only a work permit and temporary in nature. So in essence, there is no "immigrant" status involved at all. Why didn't you apply for a green card while you were here?
