Help : Stamping Question

[Srivi51]

Hello friends,

- I have stamping until Aug 2017 with my old employer
- Got a new passport in Jun 2016
- H1 transfer started in Jun 2016 still in progress
- Making H1 transfer premium now - Nov 2016

1. Can I go to India When my H1 transfer is in progress.
2. If I go to India now, Should I go for VISA stamping ?

Thanks

1. Advisable not to.
2. Technically not required , but upon return you do need to have the H1 petition approval in hand , and even then it is highly likely that you will get I-94 only till Aug 2017 rather than the petition end date.

This is my opinion not legal advice.

1. Most probably, I will have H1 approved before I start.
2. What if the new I-797 is longer than Aug 2017 ?

Officers are generally giving I-94 only till Petition Expiry/Passport Expiry/Visa Expiry whichever is earlier.
