H1B petition expiring on 30th Aug 2013
Hi,
My H1B petition was approved in September 2012 and is expiring on 30th Aug 2013. My employer is sending me USA and I completed all formalities(including completion of DS160 and LCA transfer is also approved) but Immigration department disclosed at last moment that I need to file for H1B petition extension under cap-exempt and only after getting extension I can go for visa stamping.
1. Is it true? or is it possible that I go for visa stamping and file for extension in parellel ?
2. In that case will US embassy allow for visa stamping or ask me to file for extension first ?
3. One more thing....If my petition is expired due to some reasons then what will happen?...Can I still file for extension under cap-exempt ?
Please advise.
Thanks and regards
GS
