Please help H4 Visa

[vgoyal]

Hi, Need some advice. I am getting married in May 2011 and returning US by May end. My current H1B is valid till July mid 2011. I have filled extension of my H1B. please advice:

1. Any issue expected in my wife's H4 stamping in May or our returning at US?
2. Any better suggestion on my extension(premium processing etc..)

Regards
Vivek.

Hi OP,

Only suggestion I can give is that you should have the new extended I-797 petiton with you before you leave for India....(which also means that it is not advisable to travel while extension process is going on....)

So upgrade to premium if it is taking time...
so that when your wife goes for stamping she will have the Visa till new petition end date...

For you....you can also go for stamping with the new petition with her and get the H1 visa stamped on the basis of new petiton...
other wise while returning at POE -officer may give you I-94 till JULY only (assuming your exisiting visa is also valid till JULY) and then you have to file for extension again/or go to near CBP office to get the I-94 corrected.

Thanks and Regards,
Abhay
