Thanks jairichi...

Any other question is, if i were go to Visa Stamping in India, it is better to go first myself - get stamped - after marriage- send spouse or Go both together?

@jairichi So, i can travel back around Dec 24th you say? Did you came across anyone doing so? @pontevecchio I am planning for Stamping in Last week of November, if i can get '2' appointments dates....which i can only find out untill Nov 2nd week.... i was wondering if i can skip the stamping and just send my spouse for H4 with new I797

Hello, I have a question regarding travelling to Home country India and coming back to US. My Scenario 1) My Current H1-B Visa expires on 31st December 2014 2) I have a new Valid I-797 until 31st December 2017 3) My Last Visa Stamping was in Toronto, Canada in January 2014 I wanted to take a vacation(marriage) in December 2014, to travel to India, and My question is, can I travel back to USA in between December 24-30th 2014( Since my visa is expiring on December 31st 2014)? Is there a deadline that I should travel back before ‘n’ no.of dates before visa expiry even if I have a valid i-797? Thanks for your reply in advance.

Thanks for confirming...

Guys, I need a help.. My H1b is expiring on 31 Dec 2014 and My passport Expiry 25 Nov 2015 For renewing my H1, do i need to have the passport validity for 3 years? If yes, i dont have it, so i can only apply for Passport renewal 1yr before expiry meaning only after 25 Nov 2014, which would take 3 weeks, and i mean while my H1 is also expiring a month after, would that time be enough if i do Premium? Pls let me know your thoughts. Thanks,

Some notes i found: -> Updates to Issued are happening on Tues and Thrus -> From the docs i received back from Consulate (which i submitted), the docs were thoroughly cross checked, They have Post It notes, Highlights. The Main highlights i noticed on the docs were - Client Location, Client Name in Vendor and employer letter compared to LCA Client Location, and with all other Documents where mentioned. -> Paychecks and LCA Salary --> They called my Client Manager and left a voice mail when my manager didn't answered., they mentioned this on the notes on Client letter --> And the most important point is, they did a background check on my Employer, and they gave a copy to me along with Passport -> That BC had all the issues my employer had from past 8-10 years, current status of employee... previous 221g's from my employer with Case Number, Employee information etc etc. I just want to give an idea of whats taking this much time, as called Admin processing, and i was accurate on all my docs, and information and thus took normal time. Hope you guys got an idea of whats going on, let me know if you have any specific questions , i will try to answer. Following this forums helped me lot to get an idea of whats going on, Thanks Murthys. Good luck for all.
