can you travel abroad when H1B transfer is under processing

[omega77]

Hi All,
I have a job offer from a university and they are filing for my H1B transfer. I would like to know the answers for the following

1. If I start working for the university as soon as they file for the H1B transfer, can I leave the country and come back before the H1B transfer is approved.

2. if I go to India after the H1B transfer is approved, should I get a visa stamped for this ( transfering from quota H1B to non-quota H1B ) before returning. Or is my existing H1B stamping along with H1B transfer approval papers sufficient to enter back into the US.

Any inputs will be very helpful.

Thanks

Travel possible but not recommended. Search for meetmeatohio's posts. A valid visa that is current can be used upon returning with an newly approved I979.
