  • H-1B extension stamping duration reduced

    Hello,

    I had my first H-1B extension approved (I-797A) until September 1, 2018. However, after stamping I see that the visa duration on passport has been reduced by 2 months to July 1, 2018. My I-140 is approved.

    My question is - Will my employer still be able to petition for a new H-1B stamp before July 1, 2018 or I will have to stay out of the country from July 1, 2018 until September 1, 2018?

    I am still in India and haven't got my I-94. Is there a way to have the PoE officer increase the duration to September 1, 2018?

    Also, out of curiosity does anyone know why the duration gets reduced? I work full time with an American employer and the last time my visa got stamped I got the full duration approval stamped.

    Please advise.

    Thanks.
