H1B Extension 7th year without visa stamping of old H1B

[manugandhi]

Hi Experts,

In OCT 2010 , I got my 4th year H1B Extension for another 3 years (until Oct 2013) . After that I never leave US and there is no plan to do that due to H1B Visa stamping critically. Also My OCT 2007 to OCT 2012 H1 visa already expired.

My Question is, Can I go for 7th year H1B Extension without having Visa stamp for current H1b?

FYI.. I have I 140 approved and waiting for PD become current.

Thanks.

Yes, stamping and extension are independent.

Thanks immigrationseeker for replying .

One correction : "Also My OCT 2007 to OCT 2010 H1 visa already expired".

Doesnt matter visa is required enter the country not for filing an extension.
