Do I need a new H1B Stamping? I extended my visa last year (new expiration date: 2024 Summer) and got my visa stamped accordingly. Since then, I changed firms and transferred my visa, which now has a different expiration date (i.e 2024 Winter). I honestly don’t know why the date got longer with just a transfer. Anyway, would I need to get my visa stamped again since the date of current i797-A (winter 2024) is different from my previous i797-A/latest visa stamp?

ARVL looks very attractive. It’s just $1 a share and it still has its investments from big auto manufacturers. It is very focused on quality and has responded to market events with care. The company will begin its production of low cost EU certified electric buses in Q4. Electric is the future and now is the time to invest! While big auto manufacturers have quickly begun production, their cost has continued to increase, while ARVL offers a competitive product that will evolve in 5-6 yrs.
