Hello,

My H4 had expired in october '06 but before that I had filed my H1 and also got it.
Right now i have a valid H1, but as i do not have any projects in my hand, i do not have all the papers etc yet. Due to a family emergency, i need to go back to india for a few days. what options do i have now? should I renew my h4, and keep the h1 aside for sometime? is it possible? also i have a valid business visa which was given to me from my ex-company in india.
please let me know if there is any way for me to go to india and be back.

Thanks,
Nitz

-------------- if you have H1 approval notice with I-94 attached(lower right side) then you are on H1 status and can go out and then get H1 visa stamp and enter on H1 status.
should I renew my h4, and keep the h1 aside for sometime? is it possible?
----------- you wrote that your H4 expired in October 06. how you can extend it?? if your employer file H4 to H1 change of status and got I-94 attached then you are on H1. if employer filed New H1 and H1 approval dont have I-94 attached then you are staying in US illegaly.
also i have a valid business visa which was given to me from my ex-company in india.
please let me know if there is any way for me to go to india and be back.

--------------- you need to post in H1 related threads. you did not provide full details of your case.
** for going to India you dont need H4 or H1, you can go any day if you have valid passport of india
 
Hello,
sorry for the confusing question!
yes i have a valid I94 for my H1 which got approved only few months back hence i am yet to receive my w2 and minimum number of pay stubs.
since i need to visit india for a few days and come back, I'll need the visa stamping as per my understanding. as i have very less documents, will that make a problem for the stamping? do i have any other options?
 
So the premium H1 can be applied and approved at any time? or like the regular kind, i'll only get the approval only by october?
