I got the H1B visa extension after 1 month of filing...it's an extension for 2 years, I don't know why it's for 2 years, But I will have my green card by that time..
So now, I'm in the US, I might go back home for vacation in couple of months, do I need to re-stamp the H1 on my passport prior to entering the States? :eek:

Yes, if you do not use AP.

No advance Parol, Only the H1B plus the extension... Do you think they will need to run the background investigation check which takes 3 months?? I don't want any risks, like going back for a 3 weeks vacation and faling to come back :eek: :eek:

I am not sure what feeeling those consulate people will have after looking your face. But in this case - you will need stamping done on your passport if you last visa validity is over.
 
Yah I just talked to my attorney, and he said since I have to revalidate my current visa, to add the extension to it, the best thing to do would be sending my passport along with the extension approval to StLuis Office and getting it ready before leaving the country... just play it safe :)
 
Hi,

As you did your H1B Extension, you might remember what documents you sent to get the extension.

you said you got it within 1-2 months..looks like you are lucky.or this is the ususal time taken.

I am planning to apply 6 months before expiry...In that case Can I go to India for a vacation after I have applied. But the question is do they take I-94 for for H1B extension?
