H1B visa transfer - visa stamping required?

Hi,

 

I have valid visa upto 09/19/16 with company X but recently last month I changed the company and got new H1-B petition (I-797A) from company Y with new I-94 dates(10/02/17). Now I am planning to visit India for urgent work. Do I need new visa stamping from India to return back to US?

 

If not what will be my I-94 dates? Will it be my old visa expiry dates or new dates (as per I-797-A)? What type of documents do I need to carry? As of now I have following documents 

 

- I-797A

- New company’s offer letter (dated on 08/14)

- 3 pay stub

- LCA

 

Please let me know if I am missing any documents.

 

Thanks

MW

Hi,

 

I am also similar situation,but my family also got stamped in india and their visa validity date is oct 2016 same as me but they have not come to USA ,Now I am planning to bring them.

 

Do you mean to say for them also no stamping is required right?

No need for stamping. They can use the current valid visa and a copy of your I797.
