Never got stamping for H1-B

Thank you raghvi

Hello Friends,

I need some advice on my simple situation. I had never left US since I graduated in 2009. I had received H1B on 1/13/2012, which means I need H1B renewal before 1/12/2015. Before that I was working on OPT and STEM extension. I will be eligible to apply for H1B renewal on 6/13/2014 and in a process to apply for the same. I will be traveling international this November (2014) and will be back in the US around middle of January (2015). Since I have never got stamped for first H1B, do I need to make two separate appointments for H1B stamping. Or I need to make appointment for only second H1B?

Any advice will be appreciated.

Thanks,
Rahul

Only one visa interview appointment is needed. You need to take appointment using the extended/latest petition.

This is my opinion not legal advice.
