SamC Posted June 27, 2021 Report Share Posted June 27, 2021 HI, I was in the US on L1-B from Jan 2011 to Oct-2014. I had a COS H1-B application filed from Consulting firm A which was approved for 2014 Cap. I worked for a couple of months and left US in Dec 2014. That leaves about 2.2 years of H1 time that could used. Consulting firm B filed for my H1 in April 2020 which was approved till Aug 2022. As there was a ban because of CoVid, I could only go for a stamping in April 2021. My Visa was stamped from April 2021 till Aug 2022. I got a FTE offer and from a new employer C, and they have started the paperwork. If the petition is approved, do I have to reappear for Visa Interview, or, can I travel with my current Visa stamping and a new I-797? I haven't travelled on the new stamp so far. The stamping has Consulting Firm B's name on it. Appreciate your time. Thank you! SamC Quote Link to comment
wenger.swiss Posted July 9, 2021 Report Share Posted July 9, 2021 You should be able to use old visa to travel with new I-797. Quote Link to comment
