Hi.

I received an I-797B instead of an I-797A. This is because of mistake done by my employer when filing my H1.

I finished my Masters in USA and was on OPT. My H1 started from October and I did not realize that I was having the wrong document until recently.(May) . Also my I-94 has F1 as 'Duration of Stay' which I'm done with. My I-797 listed Chennai as the consulate.

Is there any way where I can resolve this issue without leaving the US?

Do I need to go back to Chennai to get my visa stamping?

or Can I go to Canada or Mexico?

Please someone reply.
Thanks,
Rahul.
