People,

My h1B visa expires in June. However, I am going to canada in April. I have the I797 for my new visa. Can I get it revalidated early?

I did check & I am getting appointments in canada

Thanks
 
Experts, please advice us.

Experts, please advice us.

Also please let me know if I have to really revalidate my visa at this point of time as I hear horror stories of people getting stuck in the administrative processing crap. My situation here is...
- I have my current stamp valid till May 5 2005.
- My current 797 is valid till Nov 2006.
- I am planning for a trip to India in April 2005 and have a revalidation appointment on April 13th 2005. I have my return ticket to the US before the expiry of my current stamp. Planning to be back to the US before the end of April 2005.

Given these scenarios...
- Is it possible for me to do the revalidation earlier than the current visa stamp's expiry date?
- Is it possible for me to come back to the US using my old valid stamp before it's expiry in case the revalidation people gives any trouble?
- Do I have to really do the revalidation now? Will it be a good thing to do if I just go on a vacation and don't do the stamping at this time given all these administrative processing crap?

Please advice.

Thanks in advance.
