I am an Indian citizen, living in the US. My H1B stamp is expired (June 2025), but I have a valid I797A till 2028. I was hoping to stop for a few days in Istanbul on my way to India (For H1B Stamping) at the end of July. I applied for the Turkish e-visa with my i797 document number. It was approved automatically. There is conflicting information online that the e-visa might be approved but the Airline might not let me board since my visa stamp is expired or that Immigration in Turkey may be a problem for the same.

Has anyone traveled to Turkey with an I-797A as a supporting document?
