H1 Transfer while traveling to home country


Recommended Posts

Hi All

I have been working for Company A on H1B and recently got my H1B stamped at Canada. As soon as I came back I got an offer from Company B for which I have applied an yr ago and now they are interested to transfer my H1B. But the problem is I really would like to visit India in the mean time as I have not gone since 5years now , can you please suggest if I can leave the country while my H1B is being transferred? or while it is getting transferred, can I come back with the same H1B stamp I had with my previous employer? am sure my old H1B will not be revoked until I return. Really confused, please suggest.

Thanks

You can come back with the company A's H1b stamp provided you carry the new I-797 from company B.

When you leave the country, the I-94 of the company A will be handed over at the departure port and your I-797 of Company B will not be contain any I-94 as far as my knowledge is concerned.

Just check with other guys on this forum as well.
