I am working on H1B VISA (IN THE HEALTH CARE SECTOR) from Oct 2005.
My 2nd H1 is expiring in Oct 2011. My I-140 has been approved more than 1 yr back.My priority date is Oct 2008. My employer has filed for 3yr H1b extension from oct 2011 to 2014.
I have received I-797 petition valid oct 2011 to 2014.
Myself ,wife and daughter will be going to india in 1st week of june.2011.
I have leave only for 2 weeks and I have applied for H1B stamping at chennai.
I heard of many horror stories of people not getting their passports stamped on time due to "administrative processing ,security clearance etc"
My question is
1) Can I return to the U.S after my 15 day vacation on basis of my previous H1B VISA which is valid upto Oct 2011?
2) Can I cancel my appointment date for reason being shortage of leave time?
3) At the port of entry in US , Do I Show my previous I-797 which is valid till Oct 2011.
Will I be asked whether my visa is being extended after oct 2011 ?
Do I need to show my new I-797(oct 2011 to oct 2014) to the officer at the port of entry?
Can he insist that I should have got my H1B extension stamping done during my visit to India?
4)My wife and child will be returning to US IN JULY 2011. Will they face a problem at the port of entry for not having H4 RENEWAL STAMP though they too have a valid H4 stamp upto Oct 2011?
Please guide me asap as I have to leave for India after 4 more days
Thanks
