H1 and H4 with different employer names traveling together

[gmal86]

Hi,

 

I recently transferred my H1B visa from employer A to employer B. My spouse's H4 petition could not be filed with mine as she was in India.

Now I intend to visit India and get my new H1 stamped while my wife's H4 will still show my old employer. We will travel together back to US.

Will there be a problem at port of entry if I have H1 stamped through my new employer while her H4 still shows my old employer?

 

She has traveled before to US after my H1 transfer using my latest I-797 copy and her existing H4 visa. Is there any difference if we travel together and I have a new visa stamped and she still uses her old visa?

 

Thank you in advance.

No issue at all. You need to show your latest I797 at POE.

Hi,

 

 I am also in same situation as you. I recently changed my employer and started working. My wife went to india and have valid H4 visa till next year 2015. Is she required to stamp with my new employer ? or she can travel with existing h4 with old employer , latest approval notice.  What happened to your case as  your side you spouse traveled with her old H4 and did she face any issues while port of entry ?  Please suggest.
