If you are onsite on an H1B, and it is due for extension, do you have to come back to India to do stamping again? I was thinking on the affirmative but today I talked to someone at onsite who claims that he renewed his h1 without visiting India for stamping. How is that possible?

U can work on extended petition with out leaving country but if you leave country and return back to USA you need to have a valid visa. So, yes u need to get a new visa if it expires with the old petition. You can get visa renewed any where but post COVID not sure so you have to check the USCIS page

Thank you!

You can stay until your I94 expires in US. Within US if you apply an extension the petition you get in your hand is I797-A which will have your extended I94. Hope this clarifies

I just got my i797A and it contains the extended i94. Now I can stay as long as I don't exit the country I guess.

Yes

Interesting. Let’s see if the uptick In cases continues to drive an uptick in hospitalizations and then in fatalities. Depends on how many of the cases are incidental or in very young people not prone to severe cases. But either way, look at the hospital capacity utilization figures! This is the untold story. Were we bending the curve to avoid unnecessary deaths due to overcrowded hospitals, or were we bending the curve to buy time for treatments and vaccine, or just to slow fatalities?
