za89 Posted May 18, 2016 Report Share Posted May 18, 2016 Hi, I have an approved i797 and visa stamp till Sep 2016. My H1b extension was filed while I was in Canada so received the approval notice with i797b. I was wondering if it is possible to go for H1b stamping in the next couple of weeks while I am in Canada and avoid having to travel again before September 29. Is there a stipulation on how early you can go for H1b stamping for an extension if you already have a valid visa. Thanks Link to comment
tonygreg13 Posted May 19, 2016 Report Share Posted May 19, 2016 You should be able to go for stamping if you have your original I797 extension with you. I know people who have gone 3-4 months before their previous visa expired. Link to comment
