Visa stamping question. I recently went back to home country to refresh my H1B visa stamp with a new 3-year period I797 form. However I ended up getting a 1-year limit visa stamp which i found interesting. How many of you were able to get a 3 year stamp matching your 797 length?

I have not stamped recently but I’m from Nigeria and in like 2022 or so, I went to get my visa (H1B) stamp and only got 2 years instead of the 3 I was approved for in my I-797. Reason was the administration at the time had put a max visa duration of 2 years for Nigerians for all visa (stamp) categories.

This is not uncommon and with the current administration, I wouldn’t be surprised if they have done something similar with regards to your country or even the visa category. Hope this helps.

Advice: my firm incentivized associates to get licensed in fed courts - 4 fed courts for a 5k raise. They also covered the admission fee. I just accepted an offer with another firm and will be putting in my 2 weeks notice tomorrow. Is it wrong to submit an expense report for the charges I incurred related to the fed court admission fees? I didn’t plan on moving to another firm; the new firm sought me out and made me an offer - the process happened so fast. I want to be professional about this.
