Hi People,
My H1B will be expring by Feb 2007 (for the first 3 years). For getting it renewed to next 3 years do I need to go to India or I can apply at Houston office ( Consulate General of India, Houston ). One of my friend told we can do it at Houston itself by post without travelling to India.
Please help me on this.

Thanks
Senthil
 
You can only get your passprt renewed at CGI-Houston. You cannot get your H1B renewed. To get your H1B renewed, you first have to apply for H1B extension with USCIS. Once you get your I-797 approval, to get a fresh visa, you will need to leave the country. You can either go to a US consulate in Mexico or Canada as a TCN. Or, you can go to India and apply for a visa at a consulate there. Hope this helps.
