Hello,
I was impacted by a layoff, which led me to switch to an H-4 visa. Later, I secured a job and transitioned to H-1B status. As a result, my current status is H-1B, although the most recent visa stamp in my passport is H-4.
The visa stamps in my passport are as follows:
- H-4: Valid from June 2024 to May 2027
- H-1B: Valid from May 2022 to December 2024
Since I have transitioned to H-1B and will be traveling to India for a visa stamp, am I eligible for an interview waiver, considering that my previous H-1B expired within a 12-month period?
