Can I travel back to USA from Schengen area within 90 days of my H1B visa expiry?
I got Schengen visa valid from Sep 7 - Oct 17.
My H1B Visa expires on Dec 31st.
In order to meet the rule that my departure date from Schengen area should be beyond 90 days of my H1B visa expiry, I should return to USA by Sep 30th.
But can I travel back to USA on Oct 16.
Will there be any problem (immigration in USA or while leaving Schengen area) even if I have visa until oct17th.
Best Answer
The rule when applying for a Schengen visa is typically that your travel documents (passport, residence permit etc) must be valid for a given period of time after the date you propose to exit the Schengen zone. If you already have your visa, you can use it within the number of days/validity period granted. Schengen authorities will really only care that you observe the terms of your visa and exit on or before the visa validity date. US immigration will only care that you have the right travel documents to enter the US.

A visa must be valid at the time a traveler seeks admission to the United States, but the expiration date of the visa (validity period/length of time the visa can be used) has no relation to the length of time a temporary visitor may be authorized by the Department of Homeland Security to remain in the United States.Can I reenter US with H-1B visa?
You can travel internationally and reenter the U.S. while your H-1B status is being extended or transferred from one employer to another, provided you have a valid I-797 Approval Notice and a valid H-1B visa (unless visa-exempt or eligible for automatic visa revalidation).Can I enter the US with less than 6 months on my visa?
You can legally stay in the United States until the expiration of your authorized period of stay.
