Urgent - Visa transfer just approved, flight in 2 days, no I797

[mp3]

Hello. I just got approval of my visa transfer, checked through USCIS site. I have flight in 2 days to join my current company in US. I am now eligible to join new company, but I am not sure how I can travel without I797 document which I can get after a week or more when hard copy is sent to my new company and then to me?

So my question is, can I travel to US for new company with old I797 and visa stamped? How I can convice POE officer why I don't have I797 from new company but still want to go there?

FYI, I never traveled to US and I got visa transfer from India.
Please reply fast, flight in less than 2 days.

You would need new employer's I797 to travel to US. Do not try to enter without that.

yOU CANNOT TRAVEL WITHOUT THE h1 APPROVAL OR A COPY. dID YOU BOTHER TO CALL YOUR COMPANY AND ASK?

YTou must enter with the approval notice of the company for which you intend to work. Postpone your flight until you have proper documents.

Having old I797 wont prove anything. Have the current one, which you intend to work for.

Thanks. I will wait for the new I797 and then only travel now. Do I need anything apart from I797 from new company? I will take passport having old company stamped visa and new I797. Or do I need more documents?

Passport with valid visa and I797 are mandatory. Nothing wrong in carrying additional documents like employment or offer letter, work contract, I-129 with LCA, etc.
