H1B Transfer to new employer with expired Visa - Travel to India


Recommended Posts

Hello,

I wanted your opinion on my upcoming travel. I am currently set to leave for India on April 12th and my dropbox appointment is scheduled for April 21st.

I have given notice to employer A and my H1B is filed under PP with employer B and I have just received an RFE (not sure what it is yet).

My current H1B stamp is expired but my I-797A with my current employer A is valid until 05/14/2026. Can you please help me understand the following:

1. With my case still pending with employer B will I be able to travel to India?
2. In case I travel to India and the case gets approved while I’m in India, can I proceed with my currently scheduled dropbox appointment and currently filled out DS-160 or will I have to fill a new DS-160 and have consular processing done?

Please let me know as this is a concerning situation as I just have 2 weeks left to travel.

Appreciate your time and patience!

Thank you!
