Since I'm donno have I-94 attached to it.

What does the above line mean. Is the I-94 attached or not. If it is what is the expiry date.

Even I have valid I-797B untill 12/31/2013 still i will be out of status??? And I have called my employer regarding this and requested to check whether I got I-797A form or not??

My doubt here is:: Whether we will get only I-797B form or we will get all i-797 forms like A,B,C...If i have received I-797A form then it will have valid I-94 right...Please correct me if my understanding is wrong

I don't have I-94 attached to I-797 B form.Since I-94 will be attached to I-797 A form .

Why the multiple posts? All the more important to talk to the person who filed on behalf of B and then leave and come back with the H1 visa from your home country.

I-797B does not have I-94 attached.

I-797A does.

You need I94 ASAP. That means you need to attend visa interview since your visa is already expired.

My H1B Visa has expired since 2008. Since then I have changed multiple employers. My previous employer has filed my GC and I have an approved I-140. But I have changed my employer based on approved I-140. I got H1B extension till 2016. My old employer is not going to cancel my I-140 and my new employer is in the process of applying for a new one. All my paper works are clean and I was never out of status. I have not gone back since I came to US. I have completed 7 years.

Now I want to go to Canada for stamping. I have a US post-baccalureate Degree with specialization in IS. Currently I am a full time employee and not working for a consulting firm.

Can someone please let me know if there is anything I need to worry about or I am good to go?

A quick response will be highly appreciated.

Thanks!

Since presumably the Op is working here and can articulate the question " Is my H1 petition with your firm approved and is my status legal" to her HR or her boss or the company Lawyer , that would be the way to go.
