H1B transfer in India for new 2014 Visa

[desi369]

All,

Please suggest me for my situation.

I applied for a H1B this year in CAP exempt (Based on unused old visa I had few years back) and got the visa through Company A. I went for the visa interview and got the visa stamped as well.

Now, the Company B I am currently working is also willing to process my H1B now, which is what i would prefer if given an option.

So the questions I have are..

1) Can my current company B apply H1B while I am in India and if I get it can I travel to US with my existing visa stamped in passport with company A and start working with B using the approved 797? OR should i get stamped again with company B. I fear there might be a chance of rejection if i go to visa interview again and so want to avoid it.

Thanks !!!

You can travel with your existing valid H1B visa and new I797 from employer B.

Hello Desi369,

 

I'm in the similar situation. Could you please let me know whether you went for stamping again.
