Hi Peter, I am an Indian citizen on an H1B. Recently, my H1B was extended and so I have the I-797A. However, now the H1B stamp in my passport has expired. I would like to travel outside the country in the fall, but it seems like traveling back to India to get a stamp is not a possibility. What are my options to get my passport stamped? Or should I not even bother taking such a chance and stay put?
While I agree that Peter's suggestion is the safe thing to do, based on the following tweet from the official account, if you were in the country legally on 06/24, the proclamation doesn't seem to apply.
Stay put. It appears that you are subject to the latest proclamation/ban on the issuance of H-1B visas and further nearly all US Consulates are still closed and not processing visas except in very limited circumstances.
