H1-B Visa Renewal - More than 6 Months left

[Ashishsingh]

My H1-B visa is expiring in 25 Sep 2016 and I am going to India from February to March 20, 2016. Do you suggest that I should go to US embassy to renew my Visa as my new I-797 is valid till 02/22/2018 ?

Please suggest.

Thanks

Yes. Otherwise your I-94 can be issued only till the current visa expiry date and your employer will need to file the extension again before that I-94 expires or you will have to leave, get the visa stamped and return back.
