chandu4dich Posted February 10, 2014 Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 Dear members, I have never travelled to USA before and i am in India now, planning to travel soon. From employer A i got H1B approved 6 months back also my visa was stamped with the same employer name on it, after two months i got a better offer from company B and they did H1B transfer, now its approved too. Now i am planningn to travel to work for company B, so my question to you is, lawyer from company B says my VIsa stamping from company A is still valid & i dont have to go again for stamping. in such cases what kind of questions would i have to tackle at Port of Entry? are there any such cases? and also would be great if someone can post FAQs for POE questions for H1Bs. Thanks Ram Chandra. Link to comment

Dogfish Posted February 10, 2014 Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 All the questions will be asked from Comp A bcoz that is what your visa stamp shows. Link to comment
rahul412 Posted February 10, 2014 Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 Yes, that's correct. You don't new visa stamp if your current one is still valid. Coming to POE, it's just a casual talk. So no need to worry. Link to comment
Dogfish Posted February 12, 2014 Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 The problem is that you'll be asked all questions pertaining to your job for Company A as that is what it shows in your current visa and he will return I-97 card filling all Company A details and in their system. You've to speak what is in your STAMPED VISA and DO NOT MENTION ABOUT COMP B. Link to comment
pontevecchio Posted February 12, 2014 Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 You have to show them the H1 approval from B and get an appropriate I94 and entry. If you do not you will run the risk of deportation and a lifetime ban. The visa notation is usually immaterial in terms of what it mentions. In this case you do have written evidence that the Lawyer from B and is he actually a Lawyer representing B , stating that you can use that Visa.? "DO NOT MENTION ABOUT COMPANY B" is the worst piece of advise possible. @admin, Maybe you have a response to advise which is blatantly illegal? AS MENTIONED IN REPLY #5. Link to comment
