Post H1B visa transfer: Question about Visa Stamping

[ankush08]

Hi,

Me and my wife have valid H1B and H4 visas for company X:
Current H1B and H4 visa expiry date: Aug 2015

I recently transferred to company Y and we have a new H1B and H4 visa approval notice (form I-797) for company Y:
New H1-B and H4 expiry date: Oct 2017

My last day with company X - Dec 26, 2014 and start date with company Y - Jan 12, 2015. We are travelling to India from Dec 28, 2014 to Jan 11, 2015.

Question: Do me or my wife need to get a new H1/H4 visa stamping while in India?

Though it might be a good idea to do so but technically you need not.

This is my opinion not legal advice.
