Travelling to India - Visa Extension

[ashokabl]

Hello Everyone,

I am travelling to India during May-June'2017 for my H1B Visa extension, I am getting the updated Petition papers within March2017 and booking the tickets once i get the papers. With the current trend, Is it safe to travel for the stamping ? I heard many rumors about Rejections/Form 221g etc..

Please let me know if anyone has information..

Nothing to worry. Actually it is going smooth. 3 employees from my company got it stamped successfully lastweek and today.

With the H-1B Changes..

Nothing to worry. Actually it is going smooth. 3 employees from my company got it stamped successfully lastweek and today.

With the current H-1B Changes ( Salary Cap 1,30,000 Dollars ) I am worried it will affect the Visa stamping If i go to india during June.. Should i not go ?

My personal preference would be to wait until it's all settled. Currently there are so many unanswered questioned which are creating confusion.

Any one with less months of approval to stamp ?

I got dropbox confirmation and planning to go on Feb 24th at chennai office.

I have extension till sep1st 2017 ( 6 months +). Will that affect travelling back or stamping ?

This is not a change. Its just a bill tabled in HoR. such kind of 10 bills have been rejected in past. Even it is considered it will take time to go through debate and become a bill. As of now only doubt is if any change is brought by Execution order which can impact immediately but that depends what comes in EO. It's unlikely that EO will stop stamping Visas. It might have restrictions and abolishing EAD for H4 etc and panel for reforms. go or no go is a personal decision but things are not impacted by such bills or recent EO. Keep an eye if anything new comes up through EO.
