NavG Posted May 16, 2019 Report Share Posted May 16, 2019 Current I797 : Expires in Sep-2019 (I94 same) Current Visa : Expired. Currently applying for H1B visa extension soon. Assumption : H1B visa extension will get approved by July for (Sep-2019 to Sep-2022) If I go to India some time in July/August 2019 for Visa stamping with both old (exp. Sep-2019) and new (exp. Sep-2022) I797, which petition will a visa officer would consider for visa dates? What out of following possibilities would be a likely outcome? 1.They will consider old I797 (Sep-2019) and only give me visa from current-date to Sep-2019 2.They will consider new I797(Sep-2019 to Sep-20122) and give me a start date of visa as Sep-2019 and expiring Sep-2022 3.They will combine them both such that visa is valid starting from current-date and expiring Sep-2022 Link to comment

Visa stamp always has a issue date. Not a start date. Link to comment
