H1B Transfer in India--Travel on Old company Visa

[Raghu@12]

Hi Friends,

Need your suggestion on this matter.

 

I am working for a MNC, the company has filed my H1B and I worked in US for 2 year, now there is no project, they asked me to come back. Now I am in India. There is no opportunity with my current company. I have valid visa of the written in the company name.

 

I have checked a consultancy, they agreed to do my transfer of H1B when I am in India, how they will do is, they will arrange my client Interview once I got select they will file my H1B petition on premium and once the petition get approved they will courier the docs(offer letter and Petition) to India, then I will start immediately with my Old company’s Visa, at the port of entry I will produce the Old company Visa and New Consultancy's petition paper.

 

Do you suggest is this a good way doing or any risk involved? Please suggest, new to all these things.

If the consultancy will file my petition what all documents he need.

 

Thanks a lot

This is standard procedure followed. But, since it is a consultancy I would try to stay away from them. The consultancy's attorney would let you know documents required from you.

Nope, you are good to go here. Just make sure that you have your H1 approval (797) at the POE along with employment letter.

Is your old employer's H1B expired on passport? Why wouldnt you get the Stamping of your new employer? Are they desi company?

No my Visa is no expired, its valid, my worried part is I will be travelling on my Old comapny Visa and New company Petition paper. Will it be any problem at Port of entry.

You should be good..just show your new H1 petition at POE.
