Hello All,

my H1 amendment is in process(started since Jun 2016). I have to travel to India (for my wedding) on Feb 3rd.
And I just happened to find out that you I cannot travel unless I get the H1 amendment approved ? Is it so ?

Now my situation is:
1. My employer is going to immediately do premium for this H1.
2. So when can I realistically expect my H1 amendment approval ?
3. Is it true that I cannot travel before I get the approval ?
4. Do I have to get new stamping done for new approval ? If so wand hat is the process please?

Presently I have a H1 visa Stamped on my passport, which is valid till Apr 2018

Please advise to the best of your knowledge. Thanks much in advance for your response.

Regards
AD
