kumar_mk Posted July 23, 2016 Report Share Posted July 23, 2016 I have a question regarding a visa stamping while we still hold a valid visa. I have plans to visit India in October 2016 and i'm planning to apply for my H1b extension in September 2016 . My Current H1b is valid until Feb 28 2017. Once i get my H1b extended i'm planning to visit India . Also, I'm thinking to get visa stamped with the new extension approval. The questions i have in my mind is . 1. Is it advisable to go for a visa stamping while we still have a valid visa . 2. If so how earlier can we go with a valid visa left in duration . In my case it will be a Dropbox. Appreciate your suggestion on this. Link to comment
premkalyan521 Posted July 26, 2016 Report Share Posted July 26, 2016 Yes u can opt for drop box . No need to worry abt interview slots . It's best if u get ur visa stamped when u have a chance to do so Link to comment

rohit369 Posted July 27, 2016 Report Share Posted July 27, 2016 Yes. No issue. I did this in Feb 2013 via dropbox. My visa then was expiring in June 2013. You are eligible for a new visa from 6 months prior to expiry of your current visa. In your case you are eligible for a new stamping from 28 Aug 2016. Since you are planning to get your extension in September, you are very well eligible. Link to comment
