Hi,
I'm working in US since 4 years. My H1-B visa is expiring on 12-Nov-2008 (first 4 years) and I'm going to India on 1-Nov-2008. My employer has applied for the extension of H1-B Visa (for next two years). My employer says that they will send the visa papers to India once the application is approved and then I can make an appointment in India for Visa Stamping and come back to US after getting the new visa stamp.
Is it OK to do like this? Means going out of US when the Visa is nearing expiration?
Does anyone see any legal issues here in going out of US when Visa is nearing expiration and coming back to US after getting the new visa stamp?
Will my going out of US have any affect on the visa approval process for the extension?
Please share your experiences, if any, for this kind of situation.
Thanks
Milan Tandon
