I797B petition with 1 year validity

[balaga]

Hi Team,

 

My H1B  was stamped on May'13  will expires on 26th December 2013. I have not travelled US till now.

When I checked with my immigration Team they said that i cannot travel after 26th Sep'13, Is that true.

 

My I797 is valid for on;y one year from 26th Dec'12 - 26th Dec'13. Is my petetion valid for Visa extension.

 

I heard as per petetion validity it will epires and after that i cannot extend my visa for renewal.

 

What is the possibility to make my VISA valid and extensable. Please suggest.

You need to find a H1 sponsor to file a H1 petition for you.

were you on L1 or H1 before or is this your first H1B? If its the latter then your Immigration team is lying. You are subjected to another 5 yr extension.

If your current employer has a project or job for you in US you can travel before 26th December 2013. Either your current employer or if you find a prospective employer they could extend the validity of your H1B petition.

Hi,

 

This is my First H1B stamping and i have not travelled yet. You mean to say my petetion is valid for next 6 years for extension??

Also if i change my petetioner now and can i travel by DEC'13
