    Travel outside US H1 Extension Receipt notice (NOT green card)
    Hi, I have applied for my H1 Extension. I have not got receipt notice yet. Can I travel outside US for a period of 3 weeks and re-enter US while I haven't yet got the receipt notice for Extension?

    You may travel while the extension petition is pending until the expiration date of your current H1B status; if this date has passed and you still have not received a new I-797 approval notice, you should NOT travel outside the U.S. You will need the approval notice for the extension to re-enter the U.S.

    Thanks a lot for your reply. Just one clarification I need from your reply. You said that ". You will need the approval notice for the extension to re-enter the U.S." You mean this only if I travel after the expiration of my current H1B rt? Could you please confirm this?
