Travel outside USA on New Passport No Visa Satmp

[rockafficiando]

HI,

 

I have a H1 visa stamping on my current passport which expires in June 2016. But my Indian passport ends this July 2015 and Im in process of renewing the same. Once, I have my new passport, I have a trip to Europe planned at end of this year.

 

1) Can I travel to Europe and back into USA on 2 passports, current having my Schengen visa to Europe and the old one having my H1 Visa for USA?

2) Can i come through Port of Entry with a stamp on my old passport although it is expired?

 

Please let me know how it works with respect  to USA entry

 

Thanks

If you have a valid H1 on the old passport, there is no issue. The visa doesn't expire just because the passport expires.

Lots of people, including me, have traveled with a valid visa in an expired passport and the current valid passport just fine. You just show both passports.
