My H1B stamp on my passport has expired and hence I will need to get the visa stamped in my next trip to India. My H1B visa has been extended after stipulated 6 year due to PERM approval. The extension is for 1 year. I have heard that many people are getting stuck for months due to "adminstrative processing" where in a background check is performed.
My question is
A. If I have an approved I-140 (USCIS performs a background check during I-140 petion review) will there still be a chance of getting stuck due to background checks when I go for visa stamping.
B. Will they stamp the visa only for the duration mentioned in the extension, or will they stamp automatically for 3 years since my I-140 is approved and am eligible for 3 year extension.
Any feedback is duly appreciated.
