Question on petition number for h1b visa renewal
Hello. My current h1b visa stamp will expire in Feb 2020 and I want to renew the visa in Jan or Feb 2020 in Canada.

While my current i-797 will expire in Apr 2020, the extended i-797 (which has been approved) will start in Apr 2020 and expire in Sep 2022.

My question is, in the DS160, which petition number I should give?
If I give the current I-797 number, will the visa only be renewed to Apr 2020?
If I give the extended I-797 number, it won't start until Apr 2020, will my visa renewal be rejected then?

Should I wait until the expiration date of the current I-797 to renew the visa?

Thanks!
