H1B Stamping and passport expiration!

[h1b_seeker69]

Hi Everyone,

I am in a situation where if i get my visa stamping done i will be getting it till April 2019 and my passport expires in October 2018, just in case if i have to travel after October 2018 can i do it with a new passport (will be applied for)  with the old stamping in my old passport.

Would this be okay to do so?

 

thank you

Should be okay.  You have to save your old passport and carry it with you when traveling.

But you need to know that you will get I-94 only till October 2018 while returning to US. So you need to renew your I-94 again.

Thank you for the inputs.

 

@shekar11#, what do you mean by i-94 renewal, is it like do i need to go out of country and get it renewed?

Yes, go out of country and come back or your employer can apply for H-1 renewal. My suggestion is apply for new passport as you can renew it 12 months before expiry.
