My H1 work permit and VISA expires on Jan 14, 2005. Have applied for extension in mid september. (****exact date will be great****) Have to travel in December and be back around Jan 2, 2005. I was wondering whether the following risks are significant
Assumptions
* I wont need to go to home country's conulate as I don’t need anything from them.
* My H1 extension is not approved before Jan 2, 2005.
1) When I travel back into US , at the PORT OF ENTRY , will the officer see that I have only 10 more days (until jan 14, 2005) of work permit and visa and may not see it as enough for me to continue in the united states.
2) Can I use the evidence (notice of action) of the extension that I have applied to support the fact that I have an potential extension in the horizon and thus request for an entry ?
3) How big a risk is this ?
4) What would be the best ways to avoid/reduce the level of risk.
5) What happens if the officer at the port of entry actually rejects entry, what would be the next course of actions.
