H1B Stamped, Employer changed, India Travel.

[Worker_H1B]

Hi,

I am on H1B visa, I have question regarding my Travel to India and come back to USA.

I was working with Employer A from dec 2012 till Oct 2016

During this time I went to Mumbai, India in Nov 2015 and did the H1B visa stamping and visa get stamped till July 2018 ON passport H1B stamp the PN: details with employer A . Come back to USA in dec 2015.

I switched the job and joined the full time Employer B in Oct 2016 and new I-797 approval notice approved till July 2019. Meanwhile my previous Employer A revoked my h1B <i129>petition.

Now I have to travel to India in month May and will come back in June 2017.

My question is –

1.   Do I need to go to H1B Visa Stamping in India?

2.   Can I come back to USA with previous stamped h1 visa  < even when previous employer revoked the i129 application> and with new 797 approval ?

Same situation is for my wife, She is on H4 Visa.

During our last India visit Nov 2015. She also get her visa stamped along with me for H4. Her passport also get visa stamped till July 2018.

While I switched the job, her new 797 <I539 application> also approved till July 2019.

Now we have plan to travel to India in month May and coming back in June 2017.

My question is –

1.   Does my wife need to go for visa stamping in India ?

2.   Can she came back to USA with her previous stamped H4 Visa and new i797 approval notice?

You can use the existing visa and the latest H1 approval to return.

She can use her H4 visa and your latest H1 approval to return.
