EB1 Concurrent filing- - Visa Stamping expired in passport but I-797 is valid

02-27-2022, 04:09 PM

I am currently in US on L1A visa that is valid until Aug 2023.I have I-797 and I-94 valid until Aug 2023. Since I haven't traveled to India in last 4 years, my visa stamping in passport is expired.

My company is planning to do a EB1 concurrent filing in April 2022. Along concurrent filing forms I-131 and I765 will be filed. Do I need to travel to India for a visa stamping ? Will my I797 approval will be sufficient for concurrent filing as i don't have any travel plans for this year.

You don't need the visa stamp if you are not going to travel abroad and enter the USA with that visa.
