H1BOOC Posted April 27, 2017 Report Share Posted April 27, 2017 I am currently in India and scheduled to travel to US on H1B , the petition and visa both were approved recently. However , just before the travelling I came to know that original petition approval copy is lost on the way when couriered from USA to India office. I have worked in US previously for 6 years on L1B+H1B and have GC i140 approved. The new visa is OOC Fresh H1B. I have my spouse (H1B) and Kid (US Citizen) in US right now , hence need to travel urgently. Please advis e, 1.if I can travel without the original copy of i797 (soft copy is there) ? 2.what all supporting documents do I need to carry ? 3. Is there any chance of getting deported for not carrying original approval? 4. If employer applies for duplicate , how long it is going to take? Link to comment
Don'tAbuseVisa's Posted April 28, 2017 Report Share Posted April 28, 2017 you need to have original I797 without that officer at POE can deny entry, ask your employer to apply for one more copy. Link to comment
pontevecchio Posted April 28, 2017 Report Share Posted April 28, 2017 What does your Office say? In view of PIMS a copy should do. Can they not send you the office copy by courier? Link to comment
