Can I apply for Visa renewal from India (without traveling to USA)

[manjunath.jd@gmail.com]

Dear Friends,

My H1B Visa is going to expire on 30/9/2013. I have not traveled even once also I don’t know when my employer is going to send me. So is there any option to apply for visa renewal before travel ?

Also if at all my employer send me know, within how may days form expiry (30/9/2013) I need to apply for renewal from USA ?

 

Thanks in advance

if you are in USA you can apply for extension on or before expiry date. How ever i think you cannot apply for extn from India.

Are you referring to the visa or the H1 petition?
