H1B visa with one employer and I-797 with another

[yogeshpatil]

i know this topic must have been discussed many times and i also understood from the posts before that new visa stamping is not required for new I-797 as long as visa with previous employer is still valid.

 

is it also valid for the first time travel on H1? i meant having travelled to US with old employer and old visa is fine, we can reenter using same old visa and new I-797 but is this the same with first time traveller on H1?

 

i have H1B visa stamped through one employer and i-797 with another. got new cap exmept H1B petition approved before the travel happens.

 

can i enter USA with valid visa with one employer and produce I-797 approved for another at POE?

Yes, provided you are intending to enter to work for the I797 employer.

That has been answered lots of times.

You can enter with a valid H1 visa and a copy of the new H1 approval notice.

Yes you can.

Thanks folks,

 

yeah, i read in this forum itself that old unexpired visa should be good enough with new I-797. this would be my first travel on h1 and before first travel the switch of employer has happened. therefore little concerned if it can create any issue.
