Hi, My name is Abhi. I am Married. I am currently in India for my H1B Extension stamping and H4 extension for my wife.
My Current visa is still valid and will expire on Sep 30th, 2014.
I am planning to return to US on Sep 21st, 2014 (Before Current H1B) expires.
Questions:
1. I have successfully completed H1B Stamping today at New Delhi Consulate and both of ours visas are approved.
Question: What happens to my existing Visa and Petition which is valid till 30-Sep-2014
2. Will I be able to enter back in US on Sep 21st or do I have to wait till new petition validity starts ? (10/01/2014).
Question: If yes, on what visa I'll be entering and what petition should I show at Point of Entry at JFK, NY
Doubt: I believe 2014 H1 holders can not travel US before Oct-1st - Is this also applicable for me ? This question came in mind because, current Visa will be marked as "CWOP" - and new Visa will be issued - but corresponding petition will be valid only from oct-1st.
3. I was told, there can be a case where old visa will be "Cancelled" but new Visa will have both Petition numbers, is it possible ?
4. What happens to my Wife existing or new H4 ?
