Hi all,
I currently am in H1B. I haven’t been home to get my visa stamped yet. My company right now is doing an amendment for me. Can I travel during an amendment process to get h1b stamped?

Nope … you can’t… hope they’re doing premium

If you need to travel
You’re better off paying for premium - amendments take 5-6 months
