i have an exempt / academic h1, work for a univ., but the I-94 was issued for less than 1 yr and is valid till apr 07. Will this be an issue during stamping? My employer will file for 2 yr extension in nov. but my appt at toronto is before that day. Please suggest. This is my first h1 ( i was on f1 opt before). Thanks.

it seems you were on F1 changed from F1 to H1 filed by university or university filed H1 while you were in US. what do you mean by "I-94 was issued for less than 1 yr ? if it was COS then I-94 will be till approval notice. need the full details of case according to steps taken in past
 
Hi Ginnu,

univ applied for H1 in april'06 and it was approved in june till april'07, i was in OPT status before that. so my approval notice and i-94 have dates of approval from june'06 to apr'07.

will this duration be a deterrent to getting a successful visa stamping?


thanks
