H1b travel after 6 years I140 with old employer

[akat]

Hi,

I want to travel to india and I want to make sure that I will not have visa issues. I have researched online but came up with no answers as people with my circumstances are scant.

 

1) I have lived in US for more that 6 years.

2) I got my I-797 approved based on my I-140.

3) My I-140 was approved with my previous employer.

4) I have a new I-797 with my new employer.

5) My current employer is processing my Labor and this is not yet approved.

 

 

Is it safe for me to be travelling to India before I get the Labor and I-140 approved.

 

Please help.

Thanks in Advance.

yes its safe, you have I797 which will get you VISA.

Your H1 visa is a function of the company credentials. So it should not be any extra problem getting the visa to return.

i don't see any issue here. You can travel out of country.

As long as your h1 documentation is correct, you can travel

1) I have lived in US for more that 6 years.

2) I got my I-797 approved based on my I-140.
