Hi,
i entered US in 2006 Nov on B1 and got my status changed to H1B in Feb 2007 ( i already have an approved H1b Petition by august 2006 through employer A)
I got my H1B transfered to employer B in feb 2008. Now on the I-797 form, the validity period is given from feb 2008 to feb 2011.
My questions are
1. When I made a transfer to employer B, why is my validity period given till Feb 2011 (4 yrs from Feb 2007 i.e my date of status change to H1B) when its usually 3 yrs for the first term of H1B.
2. So when should i file for my next H1B extension as per the above validiity period I have on I-797 form (i.e till Feb 2011)
3. Also, can I still go to Mexico or canada for stamping ?
Please kindly advise me on the above questions.
Thanks
Vanaja
