H1B - approval validity dependency on passport validity
Hi,
I just learnt that my H1B petition got picked in the lottery. When I submitted the documentation for this petition, my passport has another 12 months of validity. I submitted my passport for renewal which I will may receive in next couple of weeks. Please address my following concerns.
1. Do I need to send a copy of the latest passport (after renewal) to anyone ?
2. will the H1B approval period decided based on my old passport? or is it ok to go with the new passport when I go for stamping in India?
3. I am currently in US with L2-EAD status. If I plan to visit India this year, is it advisable to change the status from L2-EAD to H1B (if it is approved) after my return ?
Thank you for the time and response.
Thanks,
Chaitanya
