kaalabhairavaa Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 1. Yes, you would get the stamping till 2017. 2. Date of expiry of your stamping i.e. 2017, experts please correct me if I am wrong. Link to comment

Applicant can go for visa stamping only 90 day before the start date of I - 797 Link to comment
vimalvk11 Posted May 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 Thank you all for quick responses. I have few more questions : 1. I should fill the new H1 details on the DS160. right? 2. Will there be any issue with visa stamping as my old H1 was approved with a different client and i have changed many clients and i am currently working with new client with who i got the extension approved? Please advise. Thanks Link to comment
srinathchowdary Posted May 15, 2014 Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 I applied for h1b extension last year OCT 26th which is last day of I-94 and H1B expiration date. Got RFE on Nov 6th and finally denied on feb 6th . I cannot be able to fly since wife delivery is due on April 4th and so Doctor suggested strongly not to travel as it would be risk for baby and waited till today and so far still waiting on Baby's passport etc. I meanwhile applied to new h1b petition on April 4th under consulate processing and got RFE on Apr 18th and after response to RFE got H1B approval for 3 years on May 6th without I-94 since my company asked for consular processing to maintain status and placed canada. Now my question is can i go to canada for h1b stamping without I-94 being issued or should i suppose to go to home country only? Can i apply for canada visa based on Approved I-797 petition without I-94 being issued? Any suggestions is highly appreciated. Link to comment

Its better to get your visa ASAP. Link to comment
