H-1B Max-Out Date Calculator accuracy and testing

This page documents how Calwarden builds trust for this calculator: source notes, regression-style default tests, limitations, assumptions, unit handling, rounding, and visible change history.

Formula source

  • Modeled remaining days = max-stay threshold - prior H-1B days used + recapture days. Estimated max-out date = H-1B clock start date + modeled remaining days.

Test cases

Default input regression check

Generated from the checked-in default inputs and calculate function.

Inputs

  • H-1B Clock Start Date: 2024-10-01
  • Max-Stay Threshold: 2,190 days
  • Prior H-1B Days Used: 0 days
  • Recapture Days: 0 days

Expected outputs

  • Estimated H-1B Max-Out Date: 2030-09-30
  • Modeled Remaining Days: 2,190 days
  • Base Date Before Recapture: 2030-09-30

Known limitations

  • This calculator does not evaluate AC21 extensions, PERM or I-140 status, cap exemptions, consular processing, change of status, petition validity, unlawful presence, or any USCIS decision.

Assumptions

  • The max-stay threshold is entered as days and defaults to a simple six-year approximation.
  • Recapture days are entered by the user and are not validated against travel records.
  • This is a planning estimate only, not legal advice, not an official immigration, travel, school DSO, USCIS, CBP, consulate, employer, or government determination.

Unit handling

  • H-1B Clock Start Date accepts calendar dates.
  • Max-Stay Threshold accepts values in days.
  • Prior H-1B Days Used accepts values in days.
  • Recapture Days accepts values in days.
  • Modeled Remaining Days is displayed in days.

Rounding rules

  • Number displays use up to 2 decimal places in the calculator UI.
  • Input precision follows configured step values where provided.
