Company change, same class of visa (H1b). still need to attend visa interview?

[amjad163]

Hello, i had h1b first from jan 2012 to dec 2014. then it was extended from 2015 to July 2017 (coz my passport was about to expire in aug 2017) with the same company. but i changed my company in dec 2016. so i got a new h1b visa for 3 more years with the new company. in this case am i still qualified for drop box? i guess yes coz official website does not mention about company changes. it only asks if it's the same class of visa. i will be getting the stamp in Sept 2017, which is within 12 months of expiry.

Then it appears that you are eligible for Dropbox.

This is my opinion not legal advice.
