H1b Ammendment Question

[Ram582]

Hi,

 

 

My current h1b is valid till oct 2016. I changed my client and my employer is going to file for an h1b amendment this week in premium. I have booked my tickets to go to India in Dec 6th. 

 

I would like to book an appointment at consulate in India and i am not sure if i can book with my current 1797 ( EAC number and I94 number) as i have to fill in DS160.

 

My question is if my h1b amendment gets approved do i get new 1797 ?? does it have new EAC number and new I94 ???

 

Thanks in advance

Yes, you will get new I 797 and new EAC#. If it is premium processing, then you will get it in a week

Hi,

 

after getting new EAC Number, you can just fill new DS-160 and update your appointment with your new DS-160 number.

 

Thanks
