Hi All, my current H1B visa stamping is up until August 2026. My company applied for renewal and the new 1797 is from Aug 2026-2029. I am planning to travel to India in June 2026. I was wondering if it's possible to get a new visa stamp before the current one expires. I will be back to the US around end of June but will the new stamp only be valid from August 2026? Will they cancel the old Visa stamp and will I not be able to return to the US until August 2026? Any help appreciated here.

Hi,

I applied for H1b + H4 renewal and H4 EAD all bundled together in premium processing. H4 EAD for my wife is 1st time application not renewal. Can somebody help me with the timeline? I applied on March 28th. I got my H1B approved on April 6th. H4 was approved on April 14th. H4 EAD is still pending. We did get a mail for biometrics appointment and my wife attended it on May 8th. Can someone help me with how long it will take for EAD to get to "card printing"? Her case number also starts with SRC. Any help appreciated here.
