H1B Visa extension and bridge amendment

[saysiva]

HI,


My H1B visa got expired on 31-May-2019.

Applied for my H1B Visa Extension - Non-premium and its filed with USCIS prior to my Visa expiration.

Bcoz it's filed as non-premium, processing was taking time.

Before the H1B extension approval, in the mean time, filed for Bridge Extension and Amendment to move to a different location for same customer /project.


Request Sub Type: H1B - Bridge Extension and Amendment - Non-premium


Before these applications got approved, my 240 days grace period is over and I travelled back to India.


After that

Bridge application was approved on 03/04/2020
Petition start date: 01/07/2020 Petition end date: 08/14/2022


Extension application was approved later on 08/28/2020
Petition start date: 05/23/2019 Petition end date: 02/07/2021

Attached the details in tabular format for reference.

My Question ::

Now, which one will be considered as my H1B Visa valid dates.

Do I need to go with the Bridge application Petition Valid dates (or) go with extension approval Petition valid dates.

Hi Member,

Now, which one will be considered as my H1B Visa valid dates.
Answer: Whatever is valid that you can keep and another must be withdrawn.. And another thing, Since you left the country, what ever you have considered for visa Interview and got visa stamped that petition will be valid to consider.
Hope you have withdrawn the another petition.

Do I need to go with the Bridge application Petition Valid dates (or) go with extension approval Petition valid dates.
Answer: I think you have filed second petition once you got the new project. So you should have considered Amendment+ Ext petition and please withdraw the ext petition.

Thanks
