Is Visa Stamping of revoked Visa valid ?

[arun_prs]

I had a Visa Stamping in last feb 2013 with my Employer A valid till 2015. But when I came here to US , I revoked my H1B after couple of weeks. I transfer to Employer B mean while. Now I need to go on vacation outside US. so While coming back can I use my old H1 Visa stamping withEmployer A and my current approved I797 from my current employer B Or do I have to go for Stamping again. Please advice. I have a approved I797 with my current employer B and new I94 card valid till next year.

You can use your old visa stamp if it is still valid.

 

BTW, you cannot revoke your H1. Your employer has that right to do so since that's employer's responsibility.

In the absence of fraud you can use the existing visa and the latest petition to return.

You are good to travel and return. At POE show your passport with old H1B visa and new I797 (current employer)

You need not go for stamping.

 

You can use the un-expired H1B stamping with your current original H1B I-797 and all docs to enter US.

Sorry that was a typo. My employer A revoked my Visa before my transfer. There is a window of 5 days of revocation of my H1B by employer A and Receipt of H1B from employer B. But I got 1-94 along with approved H1B in few days after my receipt. So am I still good with my previous stamping ? Thank you so much for your responses

How did you entered into US?? with A' 797 or B's 797??

[arun_prs]

with Employer A's I-797. and then Transfer to Employer B

with Employer A's I-797. and then Transfer to Employer B

If you have entered with A'797 and after the revocation then you are in trouble else you are safe.

Do you mean if I have entered US after revocation ? No my revocation happened after I came back to US.

then you are good to go.

So that means I don't have to go for Stamping again ?. I wouldn't be concerned much about this but there is a gap of couple of days between the previous revocation and new H1B receipt date.
