Guys,
My current H1 visa is valid till 31-MAY-06. I will be applying for renewal/extension in DEC-05 and hope to get it by FEB-06. After this, how soon can I appear for an interview at US consulate to get my new extension stamped. Are there any conditions which stipulate that I cannot apply before my old vis stamp has expired.

Thanks.
 
Hello,

They had a "60 days before visa expiration" rule when they were doing revalidation in USA. That was the rule for stamping here within US.

I didn't see anywhere else about the timeline before expiry for stamping in India. ALso if you apply same 60 days rule, in your case you should be fine since you are appearing for interview in FEB'06 and your visa expires MAR'06.

Hope this helps..!

LSK.
