validity of i797

[rahul.khotkar]

Hello,
I have i797 valid until August 2017 under the employer A.
I got my i797 approved in October 2014 and I came back to India in November 2014.

1. How long is the validity of i797 without stamping?
2. Can I transfer it to different employer?
3. Is client letter required during interview for stamping?


Thanks in advance.

1. An I797 is valid till its expiration date.
2. Yes, and you will get a new I797.
3. Most likely yes.

This is my opinion not legal advice.
