sm2016 Posted June 25, 2018 Report Share Posted June 25, 2018 Background : I recently appeared for my H1B visa stamping interview in March and the consular officer granted me academic visa as my current employment is " Post Doctoral Fellow " working at my university ( non profit org ). I received an offer from another employer ( company ) who filed my H1B CAP subject transfer petition in April 2018 which was picked up in lottery. Questions : 1.) Assuming the petition is approved, my start date would be October 1, 2018 is that correct ??2.) What is the difference between Academic Visa and Regular company sponsored visa ? 3.) If I were to travel outside United States in December 2018 , would that require me to appear for visa stamping interview again at the US consulate ?? Link to comment
JoeF Posted June 26, 2018 Report Share Posted June 26, 2018 There is no difference for the visa. You can use your existing visa with the new approval notice to enter. Link to comment
