Need some clarification on re-entry

Hello all,

 

A friend of mine has his H1-B VISA and his employer is ***, now he wants to shift to a US based company. He is having a valid visa till 2015 SEP.

If he changes his employer from ***to another company, does he have to go for a visa interview again.

 

Thanks in advance

No, if his visa is still valid then no need of new visa.

No, he does not. New employer has to file a cap exempt H1B petition and upon approval he can work for new employer immediately.
