Hello, I am currently working on a J-1 visa which is going to expire
by 10th, jan,2017. My organisation has already processed the extention
papers for next year and I have my new DS2019 form extended upto jan
2018 and my i-94 says upto D/S. I am willing to travel in dec,2016
for a period of three weeks and will be back by first week of
jan,2017.
1. Is it recommended to travel five days before visa expires from india?
If not travel before how long is safe even with proper documents?
2. I can get my visa renewed since i have all the proper documents via
drop-box facility but fortunately I have been stamped as "bearer not
subjected to 221(e)" on my current visa and DS 2019, I fear if
renewing it might alter it? Is there a chance for that to happen or
will i be stamped the same again as the first time.
Thank you for your time, kindly respond.
