>>> If the job still exist, then you can travel using a valid H1B Visa (and the valid H1B approval notice) and begin working for the employer. The employer can file H1B extension while you are in U.S. Alternatively, the employer can file the extension now. Upon approval, you can get the H1B visa stamped based on the extended petition and travel to U.S.
