H1B Renewal Stamping Questions
Hello,
I currently hold a H1B visa, which is valid until 2018. I plan to visit my home country in December 2016 and I have a few questions regarding the stamping procedure.
Background:
- My prior H1B visa (valid until September 2016) was stamped during my last visit home in 2012.
- I moved to a different company in 2015, and my H1B visa was renewed for another three years until 2018.
Questions:
- Do I have to attend the visa interview again for stamping? I'm sensing the answer would be a Yes but would like to confirm.
- If yes, do I have to go for biometric?Are there any waivers to biometric since I am in the same visa class (but with different petitioners)?
Thanks!
