nile0994 Posted March 28, 2013 Report Posted March 28, 2013 Hello, I am planning to stamp my H1b visa. But my Visa expires on Dec 2013. This is my first slot of 3yrs on H1B. Is it a better idea for me to travel to India or Canada for stamping. Do I have to wait untill renewal since its too late. Any suggestions plz.
gouthamsworld Posted March 28, 2013 Report Posted March 28, 2013 You can go either to Canada or India. No its not too late if you need to go to stamping you can go now.
shekar11# Posted March 28, 2013 Report Posted March 28, 2013 It is better you apply for H1 renewal on July 1st (you can apply for renewal 180 days before your current H1 expires), get your new H1 copy for another 3 years and then get it stamped based on that one. So, that you don't have to go again for stamping in next 3 years. I did the same and got stamped. No issues.

shekar11# Posted March 30, 2013 Report Posted March 30, 2013 Yes, you can apply for renewal 180 days before your current H1-B petition expires. I did that and got approved.
