my 797 has end date as March 10 2018 and I am about to finish 5 years. ( will be 6 by March 10 2018). My I 140 has been approved. if I attend visa interview now will get 3 years on passport or till March 10 2018? if I only get till March 10, is there any thing I can do to get 3 years and avoid hassle of attending interview again after an year.?

    visa expiry date will be on or before h1b petition date. In this case if you attend interview now you will get till march 2018. you can apply for extension 6months before. So apply in sep'17 and go to india after approval. This is viable option if you can postpone your travel

  • You actually needn't go to a stamping everytime your visa stamp on passport expires.

    So go to India get your stamping till March 2018. come back. and the next time you go to India, it's not a necessity to go to stamping. Just take paychecks and experience letters and you should be good to go.
