Question Renewing H-1b - Do I Have to go to UK?

I searched for this but couldn't find an answer.

My H-1b is in the process of getting renewed. At any point do I have to go back to the UK to get it stamped or anything? Or does it just get renewed and that's it.

I'd rather not pay to go back, but then again if I can coincide this with the World Cup starting, then it ain't a waste of time

As long as you have valid H1b STATUS you do not need a VISA.

The latter is only required for travel to the US.

errr.....OK. So that means I can't ever leave and come back? I'm confused.

In one word, yes or no, to renew my H1B Visa so I can live, work and travel to and from the US freely, will I have to go to the UK to stamp/validate it?

You can live here as long as you have valid hib STATUS, i.e. your H1b has been renewed, with a new I-94.

To travel, you'll need to get the VISA stamped in your passport - either at the US Embassy in London, or some place else. I believe Canada and Mexico are popular destinations for visa stamping (you need an appointment though).
