Thanks My H1B Visa expires in July. Recently, I had travelled to India for four weeks and came back in March and was taken into the additional verification at the POE . There I was asked what will I do after my Visa expires and why did I go, where do I work,etc ? With my experience, I would say better not travel with such a short period or travel afer a new H1 Visa approval is received. Link to comment

As Girish123 pointed out they will be curious to know your plans after visa expiry. Link to comment

SO yeah I would extend the Visa and then make a move. Thanks for the help. Link to comment

Would that be ok during POE in July? Link to comment

No issue at all. If you show both I797s to immigration officer at POE you would get I94 till the latest I94 expiry date. Link to comment
