H1B Renewal stamp with current employer but expired stamp from old employer on pssprt

[raghavmani]

Hello Everyone,

I currently work for Employer B whose H1B is valid until Mar 24,2017. The extended h1 starts from Mar 25,2017. Both my current i797 and extended i797 are from this employer.

The H1 stamp on my passport(was from employer A) expired Sep 2016.

I have to travel to India in January 2017 and plan to get a stamping done at Chennai and return in February.

Should i be submitting my extended i797 at the time of stamping?

Since my extended h1 starts only from Mar 25, would i have trouble re-entering the US in February?

Thanks in advance to anyone who can respond and/or has been in a similar situation before.



Thanks,

Raghav
