Hey friends....got a question .....if my 5 year visa has expired but I have a h1b visa recently issued, will I be able to go to Nepal and come back or do I have to apply for a visa in Kathmandu all over again?

Do you have H1b visa issued?? or ur H1B is approved?? u need to clarify it.

To have h1b visa issued, you should have gone out of US with H1 approval and applied for visa while returning back to US.

If your H1b is approved and you went somwhere like Canada and got your H1b visa issued, then u can go to nepal and come back easily.

However, if you have your H1b petition approved, then you need to apply for H1b visa in US embassy kathmandu to return back.

Thanks jhyamma...I haven't actually applied for h1b yet; i'm just trying to be well informed about this matter in advance. Could you please elaborate on how one could go about go to Canada and get h1b visa issued after approval? I'd really appreciate it.

thanks bange

after you get your H1B approved, go to in this website https://www.nvars.com/Production/UserLogin.aspx and get a interview date for H1B stamp. Website also tell your about the required documents for stamping. Its not bad. Once you have H1b stamped, you can go to nepal and come back without any problem. Hope this help.

kyaa gajjab gajjab ko question garchhau sathi ho.....once you are done with college, or once your I-20 is expired, your F1 visa is automatically expires. that page will no longer be useful, you can keep that just as a record and submit a photocopy when you start gc process.

now you have h1b, go to nepal, but don't forget to take a quick tour of the US embassy again right after a day or so you get to nepal. Because, you have to take interview date, go for interview and get a H1B stamp to come back to US again. so do not forget to carry all your employment letter, paystubs, tax returns, and all previous visas, I-20, and h1b approval letter.

if you have every document ok, most likely you get the visa. if you are from an indian consultant, then dont even think to go to nepal until you get a GC.

friend of mine got H1B stamped from Canada not too long ago. it was not bad.

I recently got h1b stamped and came back from Nepal, not a problem if never been out of status and genuine job and employer
