H4 Stamping Question (Do I need to Get H1B stamping after I got my 797 extended for another 3 yrs)

[ganga9]

HI Folks,
I request your help!!!!!

I received my AP papers and the copy of the H1B approval notice (Valid till
--/--). Can you please let me know if there is going to be any problem getting H4 visa for spouse without H1 stamping on my passport?

My plan is to NOT get the ST.Louis Dept of State stamping for Visa based on
H1. I am going to India during May wih EAD/AP papers, get married and get H4 stamping for Spouse at the US Consulate in India.

Do I need to get H1B stamping for self at that time?

Would it be sufficient to hold AP papers along with form 797 while going in
& out of US and NOT have H1B visa stamp?

This should be okay, Right? Please clarify.

Vusa stamping in India

My wife did not go with me for visa stamping, and all she carried was my I797 original, marriage certificate and the question of my Passport having a stamp did not arise.

I guess if you are not using EAD and still maintaining H1 status it should work.
