H1B Visa stamping in India with 5 months of i797 validity

[Venkatapavan]

I am working as FTE with big retail company and my existing petition is expiring in march 2020 (which is the max out of H1b and my I140 was approved recently). I had a travel plan in October to India and my employer is not filling for an PP and asking me to travel with existing petition mentioning no problem.

1. I had not been travelled to India in past 5 years and visa stamping was expired in 2015, if travel with my existing petition with 5 months of validity and my I140 approval will there be any problem  for visa stamping and PoE ?

 

Please help me ASAP

Better to get extension and tarvel. They may issue a 221G or may issue only 5 months. Once you get visa at POE no problems and you can say that your employer will be applying for extension.

Be confident and attend interview if you take that route.

That's fine. You can go for stamping. No issues. Just make sure to take a copy of approved I-140.
