smartsmart Posted July 30, 2014 Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 I have valid stamp on passport from Company A which will be valid until May 2015.I changed to another company B(transferred H1B) but haven't left the country and new I797 is valid until October 2017.My H1B from Company A is revoked the day i left my job there.Now i would like to travel to India in August and would like to know if i need to go for stamping again?Can i come back on my new I797 from company B and old passport stamp from Company A which is still valid(but actual H1B petition is revoked by company A)?Will i have any issues at port of entry?

murthyuser123 Posted July 30, 2014 Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 Usually the visa stamp on the passport has employers name on it. In your case it will be old employers name. At port of entry they can ask about this. Link to comment
smartsmart Posted August 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 That shouldn't be a problem i guess..The information i found -Normally, a valid and non-expired H-1B stamp from a previous employer can be used for travel to the US with a subsequent employer's H-1B approval, even for a previous employer revoked the H-1B petition.Correct me if i am wrong.

JoeF Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 You can travel with the old, valid H1 visa and a copy of the new H1 approval notice. Link to comment
murthyuser123 Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 as per US visa website, In general, if you have a new petition with a different employer, you need to apply for a new visa. In certain situations (such as corporate restructuring), it may be possible to travel back with your current I-797 and visa. Link to comment
