H1B Stamping /Enter USA with b1 Visa

[beautifulroselilly]

Hi

I have transfer my H1B from Company A to Company B. I got the visa stamp for Company A in my home country which is valid up to Sept 30, 2009 but the new H1B for Company B is valid up to June 30, 2010.

Now I am in my home country due to family emergency. I need to go to US consulate again for the new visa stamping. Here are questions:

1) The US consulate requested me for the updated job letter. However, the letter from my company shows another company name as Company B was acquired by another company in Jan 2009. Is it enough if i got the letter from Company B to show the consulate the change of name together with updated job letter?

2) Just in case if my H1B stamping get rejected. Can i still enter the USA with B1 visa and continue to work for company B until my H1B expiries? (remark: h1b for company B is valid up to June 30,2010)

3) Does it make any different if I got married USA citizen last year? If I enter USA with b1 visa, can i work for the company before I got my green card? Will it affect my application for Green card?

1. Search for merger or acquisition on the forum and read the posts.
2. No, each visa is for a purpose. You cannot work on B1.
3. If you are married to a USC, you cannot use B1/B2 either.
