RohanChaudhari Posted August 30, 2017 Report Share Posted August 30, 2017 My current H1 visa stamp expires on 30th Sept. 2017. I have I-797 Approval Notice which says my visa is valid until 26th May 2018. I am planning to travel to India in December 2017 but I will have to get my visa stamped before I return. But since my existing H1 is only up to 26th May 2018, I will only have 5 months remaining. My employer will apply for visa renewal after I return. Note: My employer has already filed my PERM application and it is in process My question is: Considering above scenario, is it safe to travel to India and do stamping. Could there be any problems during stamping since only 5 months are remaining? Link to comment
lovely Posted August 31, 2017 Report Share Posted August 31, 2017 You can travel, only thing is you will not have extended validity from your stamping/appointment. Link to comment
