H1b approval without I94

[raj0329]

Hi Experts,

I was working with Employer A(Valid Visa stamped in passport till Jul-2018) and moved to Employer B(On Payroll From May-2017) and got I-797 approved till Jan-2020, but it has come without I-94.

I have few questions now on this.

- Can I travel out of country and enter with new I-797 without getting Visa stamped?

- Should I/Employer request USCIS to issue I-797 with I94?

-Is this altogether new amendment to be applied?

 

Please advice as I have to plan my travel.

 

Appreciate your help in advance

I797 without I94 means you have to travel out of the country and come back to get I94. I dont think you can request I94 or amendment with USICS. That is my feeling based on my friends similar experience but dont consider my opinion as legal.

Thanks for your suggestion,

 

To clarify further more, Do I need to go to stamping? If so, can i go to any country(cananda/mexico/Belize) or is it mandatory to go Home country ?
