  • new I797 start date is future date, visa stamping

    Hi,

    My new extended petition is approved and its start date is on 02/04/2016 and current petition is valid till 02/03/2016 and I am travelling to india in december and my visa was expire july/2014 (old employer).

    Which petition number i have enter in DS160 and appointment form?

    If it is new petition number can I travel back to US in 1st jan, 2016. Some where i have read that cannot travel 10 before the petition date(02/04/2016).

    Please help me out.

    Thanks,

    Chandra

    >>> Latest extended petition of course. Why will you enter the old petition number. If you do that, your visa will be stamped only till that petition's expiry date.

    If it is new petition number can I travel back to US in 1st jan, 2016.
    >>> Yes. carry both the old and the new petition while attending the visa interview and while re-entering U.S.

    Some where i have read that cannot travel 10 before the petition date(02/04/2016).
    >>> That only applies to a person who has only one valid petition and if the effective date of the petition is in future. You are good to travel. Carry both the approval notices to show at the POE. Make sure your I-94 is issued as per the new petition.
