H1 Stamping Question

[kaalabhairavaa]

I have a Situation here:

 

Recently my Extension was approved for an Year(Exp: 09/30/2013), I was planning for stamping this year  but due to the length I took my step back, few people suggested that apply for Extension again on April 1st in premium so you would know the result soon like 15 days or 20. Then take the old and new I-797 and go for stamping that way you can get it stamped at least for 2 years from now(if its approved for an year again).

 

My Questions are

 

1. can I apply for extension on April 1st with premium processing?

2. If I get approval for 3 years, will the VO provide me stamping from now(whenever I go to stamping this year) till the End or only till current Visa Expiry?

 

I am not sure whether this scenario works, could some one suggest on this.

 

 

Thanks

1. Employer can file not more than 6 months before I94 or petition expiry.

2. When you go for visa stamping provide both I797s to VO.

1. You won't file for ext. Your employer does and he can do it in PP

2. During the interview show the latest 797 so that you will get your visa till that exp date.

Hi kaalabhairavaa,

 

I am in the same boat and i am attending the interview on Feb 19th with the H1 start date of  May 10 2014.

I searched in forums and found that we can attend visa 90 days before the H1 start date.
