h1b-rollercoaster Posted March 1, 2018 Report Share Posted March 1, 2018 Hi I have a H1B visa and work full time for Company A (this is not a consulting company). Company A is acquired by Company B and company name is now changed to 'AB'. Now I plan to go to India. Since the company name changed, what do I need to do to prevent from getting any queries during the visa stamping process in India. Thanks Link to comment

h1b-rollercoaster Posted March 2, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2018 I can check with HR about the successor in interest document. But is there a need for "Amendment with updated company name on your 797"? Has anyone here done this? Link to comment

No need for amendment, just carry the name change related document and all other document like paystub or W2 which can prove your employment with the company bears the new name. Link to comment

Btw... although I'm FTE I got a 221g - Admin Processing during my visa stamping. Waited for about 4 weeks, for status to be changed to "issued". Not to scare you, but just be prepared. Best of luck.
