Which I-797 info to use for H4 visa interview

[impdocs]

Hi guys,

Just a quick question.

My current I-797 expires on 28th Dec 2008. I got the new I-797 which expires on 28th Dec 2011.

My wife's H4 visa interview is scheduled for 5th Dec 2008.

In the 'Petition Details from Form I-797', which Receipt number and expiration date could I write? The receipt number and expiration date from the I-797 which expires on 28th Dec 2008 or that from the I-797 which expires on 28th Dec 2011?

Thanks.

Thanks.

Just to clarify, the I-797 which is valid, when my wife goes for visa interview is the old I-797. (My wife's vis interview is on 5th Dec 2008).

Logically, shouldn't we use that old I-797 info then?

Submit both. You will get the visa till 2011. Write 2011 date on all forms.

Thanks for the reply.

I can fill only one I-797 Receipt Number when I am filling the petition details online.

Which Receipt Number can I fill here? The Receipt Number from old I-797 or that from new I-797. Thanks.

Please use your judgment. The new one has an expiration date of 2011. You would obviously go with that.
