Can I travel back to US
I have an H-1B visa stamped till Sep-2017 and have stamped Schengen Visa and I am supposed to travel to Germany for 2 weeks and just noticed my passport will expire in Jun 2017 which is 5 months 15 days when I return from Germany to US. Can I travel to Germany with the current passport. Renew the passport when I am back to US.
Best Answer
Given the information that you are on an Indian passport, India is on the list of countries who have agreements with the US to accept their passports for return of their nationals up to 6 months after expiry, so you can enter the US up to your passport's expiration. However, note that you will only be admitted until the passport's expiration, which will be only a few months. After you renew your passport, you will need to either have your employer file I-129 to extend your status, or you need to leave and re-enter the US to be admitted until your H1b petition's expiration.
