Urgent Queries on my Stamping

[indpraveen.ji]

Hi Experts,

I have a doubt regarding my stamping, I came to US in company A's visa and after working with them for 3 months I started H1 Transfer to company B. After kick starting the process I went to India and meanwhile my transfer petition got approved and I came back without going for stamping in India, now working for company B. But still my passport has company A's name in visa.

Now I have to bring my family in H4 by September, they are going for H4 stamping by August and I need to go back to India to bring them. My doubts are

1. If I go back to India, is it mandatory that I need to go for stamping to reflect my new company's name in visa as I did H1 transfer?
2. If it is not mandatory, then will there be any problem for me when I get inside US with still old Company A's name in the visa ?
3. Will there be any problem if my dependents visa has my company B's name and my visa has still old company A's name ?

Your advice is appreciated.

Assuming your existing visa with A's name is valid till the date of your return:
1. No its not mandatory. Carry with you B's I797 and show at the POE upon return.
2. No.
3. No.

This is my opinion not legal advice.

Thanks a lot Raghvi... One more query continuing your answer...

Yes I have my Visa with A till 2017 but will there be any problem if he withdraws his petition and will it make my Visa with A invalid ?

Petition and visa are two different things. Even if the employer withdraws the petition you still are cap exempt and can use the visa with a new petition. If you want to be absolutely sure go for a new visa stamping.

This is my opinion not legal advice.

Thanks Raghvi... The problem is I have just 3 days leave to go to India and bring my family, and I cannot complete the stamping process in those 3 days. That is why I need opinions from experts like you...
