Q1. I entered US on 2/10/03 with a visa on Employer A with a validity upto 1/2/06 and have not gone out since then. My H1B has been transferred meanwhile by another employer with a validity upto 1/30/08. If I want to go out to Canada or mexico, I am afraid it will take 4 weeks to get visit visa and by then my current visa will expire. Am I going to be out of status after 1/2/06. Pl. give me as much as detail possible. What are my options.

Q2. Is it ok for me just continue to stay and get my visa extended only when I visit another country next time.

Q3. Is there any time period after expiry to get the visa renewed.

Thanks in advance

***You are taliking about visa stamping in your passport?If it is,then having I94 up to 1/30/08,you are not out of status.Visa stamping is required only if you want to travel out side USand reenter.Other wise valid I94 is OK.
Q2. Is it ok for me just continue to stay and get my visa extended only when I visit another country next time.
**As explianed above,yes.Unless you want to go out of US and return,it is not mandatory

Q3. Is there any time period after expiry to get the visa renewed.
**None, for visa stamping in passport.

Thanks in advance
