Hello,

I am on H1B and have used up all my six years and I have an approved I-140 as well. I got laid off on April 7th 2023 and to avoid staying more than 60 day grace period I went to Canada as I had a tourist visa. I have a valid H1 visa from my previous employer until 2025. I recently got a job from a US based company. 
These are my questions: 
1. Can my new employer file/transfer an H1 even if I am not in the country?
2.  Can I enter US with my previous employer's H1 visa stamp or will I have to get a new visa stamp?

Any help is appreciated. Thank You!
