Is it possible to get an extension before the old H1 expires? I am in a similar position, I have only a few months left on my current H1 and I don't have a valid visa stamp on my passport.
If I go out of the country, the US counselor may not give me a visa based on the fact that I will have slightly more than a month left on my H1. However, if I could get the extension thru premium processing before I leave, then I will have a better case and the new visa will (hopefully) be for a longer duration.
Can anyone advise? Thanks in advance.
