H1-B Restamping - Dropbox

[LZManoj]

Hi,

I was working for Company A and switched to Company B on May 31, 2016.

According to the Company A's H-1B stamping in my passport, the expiry date  was Aug 18, 2017. I am planning to visit India during Oct-Nov 2017.

Am I eligible for drop-box for stamping my new H-1B visa of Company B? (or should I interpret as Company A's H-1B expired on May31, 2016 and do the interview process?)

Screenshot of question attached. I appreciate your inputs in advance.

Thanks,

Manoj

You are eligible for drop box as employer change filter has been removed long back. You need to answer NO.
