H1B query
I have my H1B visa stamp valid on my passport till 31-July-2019. I also received my new H1B approval notice valid from 01-Aug-2019 till 31-July-2022. Both are from same employer (visa stamp and I797 approval notice). I have full time job (NO EVC).

I am travelling to India on 10th March 2019 and returning back to US on 08-Apr-2019. I have couple of questions

1. I hope I can return back to US without going for visa stamping during my travel to India as my
    current visa stamp on my passport is valid till 31-July-2019 from my current employer. In that case I
    am not sure what duration I-94 I will get at port of entry? My attorney said you will get till 31-July-
    2019 only but then your future I-797 (which also has I-94 at the bottom) approved from 01-Aug-
    2019 till 31-July-2022 will automatically kick in and you are all set till 31-July-2022

2. is it worth to go for visa stamping (dropbox in my case) based on future I-797 approved till
    31-July-2022?

I appreciate if someone can suggest?
