I have my H1B visa stamped on my passport valid till August 2017. I have the changed the company in between and have a valid petition till December 2017. I had to travel to India now, and am travelling back in a week. I wanted to confirm that we dont have to go for stamping again and can show the visa and new petition to enter US right? Even though my visa stamp contains the name of the previous company?
Yes, you can. My friend recently had exactly same situation and he came back to US on old company’s stamped visa and new company’s I797. Make sure you carrying employment letter from new company.
Be cautious. Just because someone had a good experience and had no issues coming in with their old visa doesn’t mean it will be the same for you.
Especially - if your old employer revokes your visa, it will become a problem,.
