H1B worker, pregnant

[TestUserabc]

Hi,

My H1B visa 2nd extension is valid until July2017 but I have 4years of H1b cap available as I have not utilised the entire duration yet.

i have just got to know about my pregnany and hence I would like to know what are my options around H1B visa renewal. 

Is there a chance of visa getting declined ? If so, I would be in my 6-7th month phase and travelling to India might not be possible. Will I be premitted to stay until delivery?

is there any application that I can file beforehand to take care of negative scenarios ?

Please advise. thankyou.

You seem to be confused about visa and status.

A visa is always only extended abroad at a US consulate.

In the US, you have a status, as listed on the most recent I-94. An H1 extension petition extends that status. You can not stay past the date of the I-94, or up to 240 days after that date if an H1 extension is pending. There is no exception for a pregnant person.

If your job is legit and not with a shady consulting company, you should be fine.

Extension cannot be denied on basis of pregnancy. Just make sure your employer will be filing for extension.

most of the big companies have many cases like this, and they do not fire thr pregnant h1b workforce . So do not worry.
