Need to know about H1-B VISA transfer

[kunalmpawale]

Hi,

I need to know about what is the procedure for H1-B VISA transfer.

I was working with company A in India till Nov 2007. During the employment with company A they filed H1-B visa and got it approved. Now I have H1-B VISA which was issued on Dec 2006 and valid till Sep 2009. I was supposed to work in US with the subsidiary company of company A. But it never happened.

After that I joined company B and currently working with B in INDIA office only. Company B is a US based company and they want me to VISIT to US for few months.
As I haven’t been to US till now and have valid H1-B visa filed by my previous employer, Can I use this VISA to travel to US without transferring?

Or if I need to transfer it what is the procedure for that.

Any help on this is appreciated.

You cannot use H1b visa to travel without an approval I797 or without the intention to work. Your company HR should be able to guide you better.
