Hi,
I am presently employed with ABC Company in the US with a H-1B visa valid until Sept 2015. I have the visa stamping also already done under ABC Company. Now, I am looking to shift to XYZ company and XYZ will begin my H-1B transfer process in mid-November. My start date with XYZ will be on 27th of December. In the meanwhile, I have to travel to India for unavoidable reasons and will be coming back on December 14th. I will continue to work with ABC for 2 weeks upon my return and submit my resignation with ABC only after then. Which means I will have my Verification of Employment letter from ABC at the Port of Entry when I come back. Now, my questions are:
1. Would the H-1B transfer(whether approved or not) be an issue in my POE?
2. I will not know my visa transfer status for sure when I leave/come back from India. In the situation that the visa gets approved prior to my return to the US, would I need restamping done in India?
3. Also, would I need different set of documents/papers at my POE?
4. Would it make a difference if XYZ started my visa transfer after I return? Or, since I will have the Verification of Employment letter from ABC, would this not be an issue at all?
