  1. If I have a valid H-1B visa in my passport, provided my 10 print biometrics at my consular interview and haven’t moved to a new address since the filing of the H-1B visa as listed in my passport, am I registered or do I need to register?

Some of the notices we have received say that if we leave now, we will be able to come back later to resume our process. Is this true? What should we do?
