Travel during H1B Porting

[cali_worker]

Hello,

 

Apologies if this is a repost. I am currently working for a tech company in Silicon Valley and my H1B stamp is valid till 10/26/2018. They are looking to file for my extension since I have 2.5 years remaining after that date.

I am currently in the final stages of interviewing with another company in San Francisco and should have an offer soon. The problem is that my father has suddenly taken ill and I might need to travel to India for 2-3 weeks. 

My question is that if I decide to travel to India as soon as I accept the offer from the new company, and they start the filing process for my H1B, will I have any problems coming back while my application is still under process from Company B? 

 

Thanks,

Varun
