Can I do a H1B Premium Extension filing, amendment pending ?

Hi,

My Visa is expiring 30 Sept 2016. I have filed for premium visa extension, but my amendment is till pending.

Will there be issues in either the amendment or premium extension ?

Thank you !

Did you mean your I-94 and 797 are expiring on Sep 30? The visa stamp expiration doesn’t impact anything while you are inside US.

As long as the extension and amendment was filed prior to I-94 expiration date, you should be ok. You can continue to stay for up to 240 days beyond I-94 expiration date, and these 2 applications will continue to be processed.

nsoma, did you get approved the extension?

Hi,

My case is also same. I filled the location change amendment and received receipt on 20th Jan,2016. As my I-94 was expiring on 10-Oct,2016 extension was filed on received receipt for same on 7th Sep,2016.

i want to go to India in January,2017. But 1st amendment is still pending. I want to file premium. Can I file it for 2nd process(extension) only. Or I need to get clear 1st amendment and then 2nd in sequence ? Or both can get clear in one go ?

As per my employer I have to clear 1st and then 2nd in sequence.

Hi,
I am now in the same situation. Can you please let me know what happened in your case?Did you get your extension approved in premium while the amendment is pending? What happened to your amendment?
