Re-entering US from Dubai on H1-B Visa stamp from previous employer and new I-797A (with no I94) .

I have H1b stamping valid till March 20 2016 with company A and moved to company B. New H1b has validity till July 2018. Need to do 2 weeks of business travel to Dubai do I need new visa stamping to enter US again ? Online i-94 still states March 2016.

In order to enter the country you need a valid non expired visa.

I dont think you can work for Employer B if your petition got approved with I94. 

 

if you are coming back after March 20th then for sure you will need new stamping .

FYI, even if a person initiates  transfer to another company and gets an I94 with approval, he can still turn it down and continue with the previous company assuming a valid I94 for that company.
