nvnachar Posted September 5, 2019 Report Share Posted September 5, 2019 Hello, I have recently went to visa stamping(3rd ext) in Chennai IN, consulate. I was eligible for the dropbox and did as per the process. Later, I got called for the in person interview and attended interview and Visa got approved. 1. Once i received my passport, Visa doesn't have company name and petition number. 2. i got visa valid for 5yrs. 3. I traveled back to US on this visa without any issue. POE didn't ask anything on this visa. Question : Now my question is, do i need to go for Visa stamping for next time H1b extension when i visit to india ? I'm in the process of h1b extension. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment

Getting 5 years its strange. Yes very strange. Typically a visa is stamped matching the expiration date of the petition. May be a mistake by consulate but I am happy for you. You are good for 5 years 🙂 Quote Link to comment
H1B5years Posted October 22, 2019 Report Share Posted October 22, 2019 Hi NVNACHAR, Recently in October , I got my H1B visa stamped in Chennai consulate . Same situation like you . I got validity for 5 years . Also it does not have Petitioner detail and number . Few questions to you . Kindly clarify . 1. In PoE, have they issued I94 using your approved petition date ?? 2. If so , did they ask you to show your petition since your visa does not have petition number . 3. Or they issued i94 with your Visa validity .Please let me know. Thanks in Advance .
