Dear Friends
I got H1B Visa in June 2000 and in my visa i saw expiry date as June 2005. I reached US by the end of July 2000 and Iam still working here for my employer. I am with same employer who did my h1 in india.While entering US the immagration officer at the port of entry had put the same expiry in my I-94 (ie) June 2005.
In My visa the issue date was 14june 2000 and expiry date was 13june2005 and also i saw in my visa stamping "PED 15FEB2003",along with the I-797 file number(EAC-XX..)and my employer name. what is PED fullform?
In the first I-797 the approval dates were from FEB2000 - FEB 2003.so By Jan 2003 my employer applied for extension and also got it approved and now i have one more I-797 which is valid from jan 2003 to jan 2006.
Do I need to get a stamping for the new I 797 now or should i get it only after the visa expired.I also saw a similar case of one more person getting visa for 5 years(from nov2000-nov2005).
Has anybody got such visas or does anyone heard of such long duration. please let me know ?.I need to go to india during the year end,will I have a problem while re-entry if i dont get it stamped?.
In any case I have sent my passport and documents to st.louis by mid august.I see people giving DC-Recvd date,and when the money order was encashed.How does one find when DC office received the passport and docs.Are there any phone numbers for that ?.
Thanks,
