I second KD, as long as you have a STAMPED valid visa with same status, you can re-enter the country. so for example, my F1 was stamped till August 2005 but I graduated in 2003 so its not valid eventhough it is stamped. If I change the status to H1, as long as it is stamped, I can enter the country irrespective of the employer till the date it is valid.

KD, can you please tell me what are latest rules on H1 extension.. (I mean stamping).

Shankasoor: As of my knowledge as long as your original H1 approval duration is valid you can go to US Consulate and apply for passport stamping. I am not sure if UK US Embassy has any specific rules but I would assume same rules would apply as in India.

I think you can start working for new employer as soon as you get the new LIN no. (Receipt Notice), and it is almost getting 3 months to get the approval. The fees are steep nowadays. Apart from $750-1500 fee (depending on size of company) you have to pay $500 for fraud detection for new and changing employers.......cbdg...

Parya: Thats good to hear and was looking for similar info, will mail you if additional info is needed....

hi everyone, malaa ek p`Xna hÜta I am planning to get married in March 05. I was wondering if I can get my wife here with me at that time, that means with her h4 done. In such case if I understand I will have to take visa appointment earlier, even before marriage. If anyone knows if that is possible or what exactly is procedue. For H4 also is there 3 months wait for appointment just as h1b ?

Jit H4 app procedure is same as H1. But i think you can take app before marriage.

When we took an appointment for my wife this year in June, having a marriage certificate was mandatory for getting an appointment. This rule applied only to Mumbai consulate that time. In other consulates, you could take appointment without having a marriage certificate. The rules keeps changing all the time. The best thing to do would be to check with them. Here's their website:
https://www.vfs-usa.co.in/Home.aspx

Also, if you plan to change your wife's name on her passport while in India, you will have to get that changed before you apply for an appointment as they issue a new passport on 'change of name' and a new passport number. The passport number has to match the number they put on the appointment notice.

Get in touch with me if you need more information.

I think you can get your visa stamped in Canada/Mexico only if you are changing from student visa to H1. I may be wrong.

If you could come up with a good case for emergency appointment, they will give you one for a date in February. Best thing to do would be to contact US consulate, Mumbai.

Also, you can keep checking the VFS site. You may find some appointment in Feb if someone cancels.

My experience of H1 extension stamping in Canada was good. You can do all possible H1 visa stampings in Canada/Mexico, if your paper work is complete. Nothing to worry.

For appointment in Canada/Mexico, call there 1-800 number... you might get a better date, if there are some cancellations.

Also as Naatyaa said, emergency appointment is another option, if you can prove it.

Prajakta: I have taken appointment in Mumbai from (vfs-usa.com) for Jan end, but its more than month now for that. I had similar experience that initally it was not showing any dates till march, then in a week or so it started showing dates from December, jan, etc. So keep checking for few days. Also if you are going to revalidate, you can do it at any consulate, so try Delhi, which I guess had few dates showing in Feb. Hope this helps.

पिनाज, मझ्या माहितीप्रमाणे नाव add करणे compulsory नाहिये.
पण केले तर तीला सोयिचे पडेल. ती h4 वर येत असल्याने, तिला दर वेळी marriage certificate ची गरज पडेलच. काही ठिकाणी security staff ला passport वर नवर्‍याचे नाव दखविलेले बरे पडते. अताचे rules मला माहित नाहित. पण मला जे योग्य वाटले ते मी सान्गितले.
अगदी doubts असतिलच तर passport office/immigration संबधीत अधिकार्‍यांना विचारणे. CBDG

They issue a new passport (new passport number) when you request a change of name on your passport. Not sure if they issue a new passport if you are just adding spouse's name to the passport.

Your H4 visa appointment may become void if you get a new passport, as it has a different number.

Please get in touch with Passport office and Consulate regarding their rules

जरा कुणीतरी माहिती द्या.. urgent
माझ्या नवर्‍याचा F1 होता. तो graduate झाला आहे. आता जॉब करतोय आणि अत्ताच H1 झाला. stamping साठी canada ला जाण्याचा विचार करतोय कारण मी पुढच्या महिन्यात भारतात जातेय, त्या आधी आमचे दोघांचे visa stamp करुन घेता येतील का canada मधे? अजून त्याच OPT 7 feb पर्यंत valid आहे आणि H1 ची effective date 8 feb आहे. त्याच्या एका सहकार्‍यानी अत्ताच canada मधे F1 to H1 stamping करून घेतला पण त्याच H1 मिळून वर्ष झालेल होत आणि h4 बद्दल इथे कुणालाच माहीत नाही. कुणाला या विषयाची काहीही महिती असेल तर please द्या. H4 stamping साठी मला काय documents लागतील. we are kind of lost

६ वर्शा नन्तरचे extension march मधे file करणार अहे. >> Can't you do it after you come back from India?

Last year, I visited India and came back a week before my H1B was expiring and then filed for the extension. But it was just a regular extension, not the 7th year extension.

I don't know much about 7th year extension. If its possible to delay filing, I would reccomend filing that after you come back. I had read somewhere that filing the normal (not the 7th year) extension too early is also not a good idea. You should do it just a month before your visa expires
