Hi Team,
Below is my case and the question related to the same:
Case:
-
Worked on H1B visa from company ABC (valid till 2018) in the US for 6months
-
Went back to India after project completion
-
Also got married in this period and came back to the US on H4visa (valid till 2017)
-
Got a new offer from company XYZ and COS (change of status) from H4 to H1B was filed by them
-
Now, I hold a new H1B approved petition (valid till 2019)
Question:
a) Now, since I have an urgent requirement to travel back to India, Can I re-enter the US with my old H1B stamped visa from company ABC which is valid till 2018 (as mentioned in point 1 in the above case)? Or is it mandatory to get the new H1B(valid till 2019 as in point 4 of the above case) stamped on my passport whose petition I have from company XYZ?
P.S. Last that I entered the US was on a dependent visa (H4)
Looking forward for suggestions and advice. Thanks in advance!
Thanks,Dheeraj
