When should I extend H1b?

[msuryadarma]

Hi,

1. My H1B approval will expire Sept 2003, when should I extend it for another 3 years?
2. Also, my H1B visa is valid only until June 2003, but I plan to travel in July. Can I get the visa extension at St. Louis using my old I-797?

Thanks in advance.

1. U can send the extension app till a day before expiry. Other dates depend on what are you afraid of?
2. U can get the visa 6 months before current visa expiry thru St. Louis.

I thought it's 60 days?

Jaxen,

I thought I could only apply for extension at St Louis 60 days before my visa expiration? Are you sure it's 6 months? Thanks.
