H1b with multiple 797 docs

[gcseeker547]

Hello members,

To start with my background....

I am in my 5th year of H1b period, which is valid till sep-2013. recently i have amended my H1b to the client i am working now and planning to file for extension next month(Approved 140. so hoping to get 3yrs) as i am eligible before 6months only. I have scheduled my visa appointment in CANADA in the month of may.

My questions are

so by the time i go for visa stamping i would be having an amendment petetion and and extended petetion. would there be any issues if i take my extension petetion and ask for stamping based on that, which is valid from SEP-2013.

I read some posts in this forum about the people, who have done it in the past. but don't know exactly how to use the petetion numbers in the DS-160. do i use my original 797 or amended 797 or my extended 797.

appreciate your valuable answers and thanks in advance.

You can go with your extended petition. You need to fill in extended petition number in DS-160. But just to be 100% sure ask your lawyer once before deciding to go. Because in my case it was just extension, but in your case you have an amendment also.
