hi,

I am in a wierd situation. My empolyer filed for my h1-b extension for upto September of 2011. My six years are getting over in September 2010 and my labor certification is pending for more than 365 days. Based on this my attorney applied up untill 2011 (one extra year). However USCIS approved the extension up untill September 2010. My attorney went back to Vermont premium processing centre with the query. According to them they realized the mistake and have re-opened the case and is now pending their decision. In the mean time I was planning to go to India to get my H1-b restamped up untill September of 2010. My attorney said it should be fine and also confirmed that with Vermont centre as long as I am appling my visa stamp up untill September of 2010. However I am suspicious as to since the status of my appilcation now says that my case is re-opened would the Visa officer approve my visa?

Can someone please help me on this issue?

Thank you
