gopalakrishnach Posted October 17, 2019 Report Share Posted October 17, 2019 However, I need to Travel India for 2 weeks in Dec'2019 - do you have visa for return back.?\ If yes come back and do H1B extension. If no, then you will need to go for visa stamping for 6 months. In that case apply H1B in premium and you can get decision before your DEC 2019 travel. Quote Link to comment
AdiH1Bguy Posted October 24, 2019 Report Share Posted October 24, 2019 @gopalakrishnach If no, then you will need to go for visa stamping for 6 months. In that case apply H1B in premium and you can get decision before your DEC 2019 travel. So if his visa is currently not stamped, and he gets I-797 extension approved before December, can he get stamping from say Dec 2019 to May 2023 during his December visit if he uses the new I-797 is the DS160? Is it at the discretion of the visa officer to give visa till May 2020 or May 2023? I am in somewhat similar situation. Thanks for your response in advance. Quote Link to comment
gopalakrishnach Posted October 24, 2019 Report Share Posted October 24, 2019 he gets I-797 extension approved before December, - in that case the H1B approval starting date will be issue date. So once he gets this he can go for stamping. Is it at the discretion of the visa officer to give visa till May 2020 or May 2023? - They will give end date of h1B approval. Quote Link to comment
