yogeshpatil Posted October 1, 2015 Report Share Posted October 1, 2015 i know this topic must have been discussed many times and i also understood from the posts before that new visa stamping is not required for new I-797 as long as visa with previous employer is still valid. is it also valid for the first time travel on H1? i meant having travelled to US with old employer and old visa is fine, we can reenter using same old visa and new I-797 but is this the same with first time traveller on H1? i have H1B visa stamped through one employer and i-797 with another. got new cap exmept H1B petition approved before the travel happens. can i enter USA with valid visa with one employer and produce I-797 approved for another at POE?

jairichi Posted October 1, 2015 Report Share Posted October 1, 2015 Yes, provided you are intending to enter to work for the I797 employer. Link to comment
JoeF Posted October 2, 2015 Report Share Posted October 2, 2015 That has been answered lots of times. You can enter with a valid H1 visa and a copy of the new H1 approval notice. Link to comment
yogeshpatil Posted October 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2015 Thanks folks, yeah, i read in this forum itself that old unexpired visa should be good enough with new I-797. this would be my first travel on h1 and before first travel the switch of employer has happened. therefore little concerned if it can create any issue.
