H1B I797 expired

08-22-2017, 02:43 AM

Hi,

My I797 is expired on 30 June 2017 and I have changed my employer as well. Currently I am in India. What is the procedure to get it renewed. I was in US for 2 yrs on that I797 with my previous employer.

You cannot unilaterally renew it, you need an employer who has an open position in US to file for it.

This is my opinion not legal advice.
