Visa Revalidated

[bplsanyo]

Hello Immihelp,
I was working with company A and have a visa stamped on my passport valid upto 2003. I was laid off on the 20th of april. I was given time upto the 27th to sign the release letter. They were providing a ticket back home but I refused because company B mailed my visa petition on the 20th of april. i now have an approved visa with company b. Now my current assignment requires international travel. I know my legal status is ok. my only question is about my travel and reentry. If company A had revoked my petition due to the lay off, can i still travel on their visa along with the new approved petition from company b. or do I have to get my visa revalidated?

Thank you,

Hi There,

Visa stamping is required to show your legal status in the country, every time you move in or out .
Whenever you change your job, it is better to get it stamped in your passport so that you can have your records straight & it avoids you getting into any unnecassary hassle.
As of right now you should get the new status done in your passport.

Dont Worry. U r OK just carry ur Receipt of Filing Ur H1 and That alone is good enuff for u. Sine U cannot revaidate ur visa till H1 arrives carrying the recipt is good enuff.
