H1B - Port Of Entry

[nthaccker]

Hi ,

I am on H1B and have a stamped visa valid till Oct 2019 . Been in US since last 10 years (last 7 on H1B - I140 approved) & have US Masters degree . 

Issue is that I have been India since last 9 months .. Initially  the stay was for 1 month (vacation) but later my dad's health deteriorated and even i had my own health issue (2 Ear surgeries etc) so my stay got extended due to medical reasons.

My company kept H1B active (not revoked).

Will there can be any issues at the Port Of Entry due to this long stay .I have medical records (most of it) etc with me 

Please let me know if this can create issues and i am really worried.

Any help will be great 

Thanks

Get letter of proof of Employment continuation and any communication with the employer approving extending your vacation/ medical leave of absence.

At Port of Entry the officer wants to confirm you have an active job which you are going to join upon entry and not going to search for one after coming here.

Good Luck.
