is stamping necessary if h1b consular petition is approved

[chinnym]

Hi All;

 

I am on valid h4 status. An employer has applied for H1B consular process petition for me and got it approved.

 

Now when I travel outside united states do I have to get h4 stamping again if I want to stay in h4?

You need a valid H4 visa & a copy of your spouse's I797.
