My H1 B visa stamp is valid till October 30 th 2020. I got my petition approved for 2 more years recently. Please let me know if I can travel to India in October? Will I get a visa stamp when I am in India? Is it risky to travel now ?

You have to get an emergency appointment. I think best case scenario is not going. If you have to go, contact the consulate ASAP and confirm an appointment before you travel. You will likely have to get a letter from employer saying your return is of urgent business need

For Emergency appointment they are focusing mainly on F1 Students for now, this is what I have heard please do check on this

Don’t think the consulates are open in India yet for H1B stamping. IMO, it will be risky till the rules are clear and reduced ambiguity.

Can I travel back before October 30 th say on October 20 th 2020 ?

Can confirm what D3 is saying. Have done that multiple times and always the date on latest I797 is used, which is generally beyond the visa date

Talk to a lawyer please

Unless it’s necessary, DON’T. Simple as that

Is it risky? Have you heard about the pandemic ?

Hi Everyone,

Need some inputs before making an important decision.
I have offer from Cognizant and they are promising that next quarter they will initiate my Canada visa. They are giving assurance when I spoke to them over call. Also, my current employer Accenture is also saying the same to retain me. Can I believe Cognizant? Also, Canada onsite is best in which company - Accenture or Cognizant. Please suggest based on your experience.

Thanks in advance!
