Help Needed : H1B Ammendment approved , Travelling to India

[jaya.a.krishna]

Hi,

Recently my H1b Amendment approved on 12/8/2016  with new I-94 and valid from 12/8/2016 to 10/06/2018 ( I-797 H1b Amendment).  I already had valid H1B visa stamp till SEP-2017 (H1B visa  stamp on old passport and I-797),  but my I-94 was valid till July-2016 due to my old passport was expired on JULY-2016. I already renewed my passport on November 2015 and I am planning to travel to India on March 2017.

so now my question is :

1) Do I need  to go to  visa interview, if I am travel to India before Sep-2017 (Because I got new I-797 with new valid dates( 12/8/2016 to 10/06/2018 ) and new I-94) ?

If the answer is  NO, which I-797( Regular H1B I-797 or H1B Amendment I-797) should need to show at Port of entry?

SUMMARY:

1.Old  I-94 validity: 07/23/2016

2. Regular H1B I-797 validity :  09/17/2017

3. H1B visa stamp on old passport validity: 09/17/2017

4. Old Passport Expiration date :  07/23/2016

5. New Passport renewed on : November 2015

6. Amendment  Filed: October 13th 2015

7.Amendment approved : December 8th 2016 

8. Amendment I-797 Validity :  12/8/2016 to 10/06/2018
