H1B stamping when 7 months remaining and perm is in process

[anil67]

Hi,

This is complicated Question (for me atleast).

I am in my 6th year of H1B visa ( expiry date is 1 Oct 2012). I have approved paper visa till 1st Oct 2012.

My company started my perm(labor) processing and it is applied 1/5/2012.

I am traveling to india (1 march - 31 march 2012) and i will have to go for visa stamping.

Q1. Any issues if i go for visa stamping when my perm is under process.

Q2. When i go for visa stamping, i will be left with only 7 months for 6 year completion on H1B, Will that cause any issue.

Q3. what to answer if associate asks me "Why r you going when only 7 months left on H1B, Is your company applying for green card?"

I am scared actually so please provide me some info.

Some information: I am employed by usa company(capgemini inc) and working in finance domain. 1.5 year back transfered my H1B from some other company to this current company.

H1B is a dual purpose visa...you can have immigration intent.What is there to be scared of?..they cannot reject you based on that.

I go Visa stamping. Came back to US employer filed for H1B extension for 7th year and got it. meanwhile perm audit got denied and then employer filed for new perm in oct 2012.

Today lawyer told me perm is showing 'not certified' . let physical papers come and then we decide next step. this perm is denied without even audit. so i am shocked.(other perms applied during same period by lawyer got approvals so don't know). now i land in differnt situation so raised differnt thread for my questions.

God save me from this mental pain.
