Turkey tourist e-visa with expired H-1B but valid i-797A
I am an Indian national living in the US. My H-1B (1st term) expired in August 2016. I have an I-797A (H-1B visa extension document) valid until July 2019. I went to the Turkish Consulate in Boston to get a visa sticker but they said I am still eligible for an e-visa and was told to show my I-797A upon arrival. Has anyone traveled to Turkey with an I-797A as a supporting document?
My itinerary is Boston to Istanbul (5 day stay), on to India and return to Boston.
