PAggarwal Posted July 2, 2020 Report Share Posted July 2, 2020 My family (wife & kid) are on H4 visa, but they had traveled to India in Oct 2019. I changed my employer in March 2020 & I have got an approved petition with my new employer (say B) which is valid till Dec 2021. After going back to India, my dependents got they passports stamped & their stamped visa also have validity till 19-Dec-2021. But their stamping was done based on my earlier petition which was with previous employer (say A) So, I have 2 queries : 1. Do they need to go for stamping again or they can travel based on the current stamped visa which has my previous employer's name mentioned in it ? 2. As per the latest executive order passed by US Government, H1B & their dependents with valid visas are allowed to travel. So, is my family eligible to travel based on their current existing visa with my previous employer ? And will there be any risk in their immigration at POE with stamped visa with old employer ?

User099 Posted July 4, 2020 Report Share Posted July 4, 2020 They can travel with current visa's on their passports, they just need to show the new I797 approval notice from B at POE. 2. They are good. Their visa was issued before June 24th and its valid. They can use it to travel and I don't think there will be any issues at POE. Quote Link to comment
JoeF Posted July 4, 2020 Report Share Posted July 4, 2020 (edited) If they have valid visas they can travel. H4 visas have no connection to your employer. All that matters is that you are on H1. They may have to shoe your current H1 petition approval. Edited July 4, 2020 by JoeF Quote Link to comment
