  • Renewal of expired H1B visa in India

    Hi,

    I was working in USA for 1 year (2010 - 2011) on H1B. Currently, my H1B has expired (on 09SEP2012) and I am in India.
    My sponsor was Employer A in India and now I am not working with them.

    Can somebody let me know on the following?
    1. Is there a way to get the expired visa renewed in India?
    2. If yes, how?
    3. If No, what are the other options?

    Thanks in advance.

    Regards,
    Ramesh

    1&2. Yes. Find an employer, give them the details of the earlier approved H1 petition, they will file a new I797, I129, once approved, file DS-160 online and take visa appointment at any US consulate, take I797, I129, proof of employment, along with other requisite documentation with respect to new employer, and attend the visa interview. Once approved and H1 stamped, you can use the new H1 to travel to US.

    This is my opinion not legal advice.
