H1 Transfer without stamping on prior transfer

[Dldd]

Hi

 

My H1 was recently extended and I did not happen to travel back to India and get it stamped. My visa has expired but I do have a valid I94 that came with the transfer.

 

I am planning to change employers and can it done on the basis of the I94 or do I need a valid visa with stamping? Also if I happen to get my H1 transferred successfully, will I face issues in my subsequent stamping as my earlier extension was not stamped?

 

Thanks

A new employer can file a H1B cap exempt petition with your previously approved I797 document and valid I94. You do not need a visa. You will not face any problem later.

You are good to go...!!!
