Travelling with old company H-1B Visa

[prabhakarm22]

I moved to a new company and yet to receive my I-797 approved from INS. My old company visa is valid till May 2010. If they have not revoked it can i still travel out of country and come back?

What will they ask me in port of entry?

Thanks

If the old company not revoked, you can travel with that old I 797.

If you get an approval from your new employer when u r ome country, better ask your employer to send it to you, so that you will get I-94 with new date on it...

In port of entry they will ask for your H1 Docs and your work location if it is consulting company or client letter, in some cases may be more docs like W2's...

You should not return showing just the old visa and approval notice for Company A. That would be misrepresenting to CBP that you were still working for Co. A. You need to show the receipt for Co. B's filing to show that you are working for them using portability (I assume you are)

You will show your stamping from old Company and H1 approval from the new company. POE will issue you a I-94 with expiry date from the New company H1 approval.

But if you are travelling with spouse on the H4 he/she will get I-94 according to his/her passport stamping. So may have renew earlier then you.
