What is the PED (Petition End Date) listed on my visa?

The PED listed on your visa is your Petition End Date, or the date on which your immigration authorization in the United States will expire. For example, if you entered the United States on an H-1B visa, your PED reflects the date on which you will no longer be eligible to work in the United States as an H-1B visa holder. Generally, your PED will correspond to the expiration date given on your I-797 Approval Notice or Endorsed I-129S. It is important to check your immigration documents each time you enter the U.S. to confirm if they match your PED. If not, please contact our office.
