H1B Stamping with (2) I-797's (current and extension) for the same employer

[paradkaram]

I am going to Ottawa for H1B stamping in Sept., 2007. My current I-797 expires 19-Nov-2007. I already have my approved 3-years extension (with the same employer) and I have the correstponding I-797 starting 20-Nov-2007.

If I go for H1B stamping would they give me a visa based on the current I-797i.e. for 2-months only or they can give visa for the duration of the extension as well. And how do I apply, shall I give them both I-797's or?

If you have any experience with that any advice would be appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

Show them the new extended I-797. If all goes well, you should get the 3 year visa. But take the current I-797 along just incase you are asked for it.

Good luck,
