H1Help Posted October 20, 2015 Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 Hello Folks, I have applied for H1 Amendment and I would like to travel abroad while my Amendment is in process. When inquired with my attorney, he informed me that there will not be an issue to travel abroad while amendment is in process as long as we have a valid VISA stamping in our PP. I was also observing the posts on this topic in this forum. I see someone saying there will not be an issue and someone saying should come back after amendment approval. That would be really great if someone share their experience if traveled while Amendment is in process. Also, any other inputs and suggestions are welcome. Link to comment
jairichi Posted October 21, 2015 Report Share Posted October 21, 2015 Normally one is expected to have amendment approval at the time of entry to US. Check with an independent attorney. Link to comment
amitnkothari Posted October 29, 2015 Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 I have the similar situation, My H1B visa is stamped till 30 Sep 2016. My client and roles are same, but the location is being changed from Danbury, CT to Norwalk, CT (20 miles) I am yet to initiate the process, but also I have a vacation planned from 25th Nov to 20th Dec 2016. If I file the amendment now, Will I be able to get the amendment approval before 20th Dec? Also What document is considered as amendment approval? the new EAC number from USCIS or new approved petition etc. Please suggest Link to comment

Thank You Jairichi. Once amendment is approved, can anyone travel into United States without new I797? Link to comment
