Annotation on H4 visa - NOT VALID UNTILL Date.

[srikanthsiri]

Hello,

 

My employer applied for a premium H1b renewal. My H1b visa is renewed from April 5^th 2019 to April 4^th 2022. My wife went to India and attended a visa interview with the new I 797. She got visa approved but there was Annotation on the visa.

Annotation:

NOT VALID UNTILL 25MAR2019

PA: MY NAME

PN: MY EMPLOYER NAME

P# Receipt Number of I 797

 

Can she enter USA before March 25^th with old I 797 ? Is there any other way? Please advise.

I don't think so if it is mentioned clearly in visa stamp that it is not valid until March 25th. She will be risking and might have to go back if POE officer does not allow her.
