Hello There,
I have a small query, I will really appreciate it if someone can answer accurately.
My H1b petition for my employer has been approved last year.
I have H1b I797 approval notice dated Oct 4, 2012, but I received approval in the mid November 2012. I have got H1b stamped on Dec 10, 2012 valid for 3 years, expiring on Oct 3, 2015.
After the visa stamp, I have not come to the US yet, as my project got delayed.
I will really appreciate if someone can help me determine, if I have any deadline to enter the US to keep my H1b valid, like Oct 3, 2013 or Dec 9, 2013?
In other words, I have heard that you have to enter the US within one year of getting your H1b visa, is that true?
Thanks a lot in advance!
Bets Regards,
Venus
