vgandhi1979 Posted June 27, 2015 Report Posted June 27, 2015 Through my current employer(Company-A), I have H-1B visa until 01/20/2016(with visa stamping in passport and I-94 expires same date). Now planning to transfer H-1B to Company-B. USCIS temporarily suspended premium processing for H1B. Alternatively, Company-B filed H1B transfer through Consular notify petition and get it approved(I-797B, no I-94) for next three years. Company-B lawyer says that I need to travel outside US and reenter to activate new I-94 only then I can work for them. Question: Since my current passport carries visa stamping(through Company-A) until 01/20/2016, so can I travel to nearby mexico/canada and re enter US showing my new I797-B and get new I-94? Do you see any problem here?
vgandhi1979 Posted June 30, 2015 Author Report Posted June 30, 2015 Has anybody came across my situation recently and got new I-94 in the cross border?
Attorney_21 Posted July 1, 2015 Report Posted July 1, 2015 vgandhi1979: You can enter on Company A's visa "Stamp" and Company B's (original) I-797 Approval Notice. A new I-94 record should be created. This is relatively routine, so I wouldn't anticipate a problem - just make sure that you present the new approval notice to the CBP inspector, or the trip will be wasted!
