My H1 visa stamp and I-94 in my passport expired in August 2003. I have a valid I-797 approval till Oct 2004 and I have applied for an H1 extension also. Do you think it is OK for me to go ahead and send to St.Louis today the application for visa revalidation? It will take about 10-15 days for the documents to reach Washington D.C and by the time they process the application, my visa would have expired more than a year. Do you think that is grounds for refusal? I am not willing to risk a refusal or a cancellation without prejudice. I am not planning to travel out of the country anytime soon. I know I can stay here legally as long as the I-94 on my I-797 is valid. Please, let me know what you think of this situation.
Thanks,
OHenry
