Hello.
I need your input on the following issue:
My H-1B visa stamp, I-94 and I-797/approval notice expire on 06/30/09. I am working with my employer to extend the I-797 for one more year (i.e. until 06/30/2010). I have to travel to India during May' 09 for personal reasons. My question is will the visa officer at the port-of-entry extend my I-94 validity upon re-entry to US if I have the extended I-797 in hand? Please let me know.
If the visa officer does not extend, then I will be in a situation to leave the US again after 06/30/09, and this is not something I want.
Any help will be much appreciated.
Many Thanks.
