H1B transfer and I94 extension

[bbarani]

I am currently holding valid H1 B visa (valid till 2014), I am moving to new company and H1B transfer is in progress. I will be going to India once my new H1 B has been approved but I am not planning to quit my present employer until I come back from India. In that case, is it fine if I just show my VISA (from my current employer) in port of entry? I know the new H1 B petition will have the I94 extended to few months than my VISA expiration date, Is it possible to start working for new employer with H1 B approval notice even if the date in my I94 (in petition) doesn't coincide with the date in I94 stamped by immigration officer (since he would be stamping based on my VISA). Also, if I am planning to quit my current emp, can I enter US using old VISA and new approved petition document even though if I don't have pay stubs from my new employer?

You can use your old visa to enter USA but at POE, show the new approved petition and also mention the new employer name on in the I94 given to you in the plane so that you can start working for the new employer once you come back.
