I am thinking to join Netflix on receipt, my h1b extension was approved last year but both I and my wife haven’t traveled internationally since then.

So our visa stamps have expired though our status is valid.

So if my wife travels to go to India will there be any trouble for her to renew her visa there, once I join Netflix on receipt?

  • I really wish the travel arrangements/visa can be sorted legally inside mainland USA. Too much cost and human discomfort associated with legal way of obtaining visa. Especially travel needs.

    • Even if we don’t get green card due to such long queue, it doesn’t make sense to make the traveling / visa portion so hard. We already have our travel, job history, fingerprints etc with Uscis. Legal process should not be that hard.

    If you join Netflix on receipt , on what basis will she renew her visa in India ? She does not have a valid H4 Approval at that time

    Until your visas are approved, you cannot travel. If you had a valid H1b from previous company stamped, some people “claim” that you can travel , but that too is risky

    Don’t travel if you are joining on receipt. She won’t be able to renew her H4 at the consulate without newly approved I-797

      I was able to travel and return to the US with I797 from previous employer, unexpired visa stamp on passport from previous employer, and receipt from new employer.

    In 1-1.5 months if Premium processing is restarted, you can hopefully get approval soon. And then you/she can go for stamping
