Hi,
My I-797 approval notice validity is as following:
Starting Validity Date: 07/28/14
Ending Validity Date: 05/31/17 (5 months to go)
I never went for visa stamping and never been to USA, now my employer want me to have it stamped and come to USA. My questions are:
1. If I get my H1B stamped before the expiry and travel to USA, How long I can stay there? I mean my 3+3 year period start when I land there?
2. Currently I am in Europe but I got this I-797 approved while I was India, Can I go to any other country's US embassy for PA (stamping) or it has to be home country?
3. Does it matter if you enter usa at end of your petition validity? Any concern?
4. When I go for Visa stamping, what does it mean they print 3 years valid H1B on my passport (starting form the day of stamping)?
FYI, in 2014 this petition was applied on cap exempt basis, as i had a my petition selected in 2008 lottery
.
Please let me know.
