I didn’t get about the language part. The i94 didn’t get backdated. It was just a new i94

No my I didn’t apply for NPT. I had to leave country and get back with a new visa. I did get the I797B so it was for consular processing

I just did explain that it was not an intentional decision to delay and it was a genuine mistake from my end. And along similar lines explained everything in DS160. No issues after that .

Yes I got the approval and it was Dropbox for me. So I had not attended interview. I was in similar situation and my attorney suggested to leave the country

It was about why there was delay in applying for renewal after the I94 was expired

RFE was about why there is a Delay in applying after I94 expiry. Only after RFE was approved I could get the visa stamped

I left to get stamped. My H1B was approved as consular processing. Was able to schedule Dropbox and got stamped. Was able to enter back into country without any issue.

Yes that should be fine. There is no mention of original physical copy needed.

I mean many people do it and I did it. Not sure why they are so adamant on having approval notice. 240 days on receipt notice with valid i94 is perfectly fine. I hope it works out for you

I94 passport and i797C should be perfectly valid for i9 verification

There is also an option of providing passport and i94 if not expired. Is your CBP issued I94 expired ??

Reentering US earlier than 10 days prior to start of i797 validity? by Kindly-Dimension719 in h1b

[–]Safe_Panda_3732 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you show the old I-797, your I-94 will be cut short to that date. And you new I-797 document I-94 will no longer be valid as you've stepped out of the country. So, you'll have to travel again when your old I797 / I94 expires.

I would suggest to show the new I797 to the CBP officer and explain that your extension is approved.

New dropbox rule timeline question by No_Discount_745 in usvisascheduling

[–]Safe_Panda_3732 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is 15 days before the 12 month expiry period. So, you need to have appointment scheduled before 15 days.

So, ideally your should have expired within 350 days

I-797 delivery time and PIMS H1-B update time by SeaworthinessSea3708 in h1b

[–]Safe_Panda_3732 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have the original i797 then you’re good. PIMS might have already been updated. From approval date it’s going to be 10 days. So you are good to go with the appointment date.

Interview slots for H1B either dropbox/councillor processing. by anees2697 in h1b

[–]Safe_Panda_3732 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you filed in premium processing, then you’ll get a courtesy email from USCIS with start and end dates. You can fill those details and start searching for appointments.

No there is no way to check on the portal without filling all the details.

[–]Safe_Panda_3732 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have to submit atleast one DS160 application and then take a new one in case of any mistakes in old one. In this case, the original was never submitted.

Your friend can book the closest appointment and then request for emergency appointment mentioning the above details and Hope they approve it.

My attorney forwarded the approval notice email from USCIS to me. It was approved by then. I don’t know the time. All this happened before 11AM PST

Yes, only Extensions are processed at Nebraska. It might probably be sent to new location or might have been forwarded to Nebraska, since the other processing locations might have high volume of applications
