H1B - Addition of vacation days/weeks (outside country) on Re-stamping
Hi,
Help needed in troubling situations.
1. My H1B is expiring in January 2018 (date on I-797) and this includes the extension i.e 6 years. My PERM hasn't filed yet and PWD is in process.
2. Visa expiration date on Stamping is November 2017.
3. I don't think by January 2018, my I-140 will be approved. I will need to stay out of country for few months.
4. I am thinking, what if I go out of country now and spend 3 months and come back with re-stamping.
Will re-stamping process put me on a new date on Visa expiration of January 2018 (as it is on I-797) OR will it give me put a new date adding 3 months (mentioned in #4) which will be April 2018 (January + 3 months)?
If re-stamping doesn't take care of it, will it require to file another extension to get those 3 months back?
-Regards,
DJ
