H1B Approved for 3 Months Only

[Navneet7]

Hi , 

1. I'm working as Contractor at Client Location (Employer- Vendor Relation). Vendor SOW is having Project End date as 12/31/2019. So My H1b Approved only for 3 months under consular process. Attorney asked me to go for Visa Stamping, If not H1b will not be activate. And currently i have enrolled into CPT as well. Will it be risky if i go for Visa stamping.? Because its approved only for 3 months. 

2. And i have another H1B which is filed from Different Employer and Status is "Pending" . Do i have to withdraw the second "H1B" before going to the Visa Interview .?

If anyone has faced this situation please help me. What all questions visa officer will be asking .?

1. You can go for stamping. Duration does not matter. But CPT might be an issue during your interview.

2. No need to withdraw. You can have multiple H-1's.

No you cannot work. You need to go out of country and get visa stamped since it was filed under consular processing. Contact your employer ASAP. He will guide you.
