H1b Stamping before the Current Visa Expires

[kdeepad]

Hi,

I am on H1B visa which is yet to be stamped in my passport (converted from L2 to H1B).  It is getting expired on 30-Sep-2014.  I have to go to India in May'14.  I got my H1B extension which starts on 10-1-2014

 

When I apply for H1B stamping, 
1. Which petition should I use in DS 160 – current or new?
2. If New, what should be the start date I need to enter – 10/1/2014 or 10/1/2011 ?   If I enter 10/1/2014,  will that cause issue when I re-enter US?
3. If Old,  do I have to give my NEW i-94 when I departure?

 

I would really appreciate your response.  
 

Thank you very much
Deepa

You have to put new start date which 10/01/2014.

 

When you get the stamping it will show only the expiry date of your H1 which is your New I797 expiry date so you will not have any issue while re-entering the US.
