Travel Outside & Enter US with New Emp I797 Approval & Old Emp valid H1 visa

[cmanojonline]

Hi,

I have H1B visa stamped in my passport from my previous employer and its valid through May2013. I changed my employer in June2011 and got my H1 transfer approval in Aug2011. Now can I travel outside US and would there be any issues in re-entering US with the same H1B visa in my passport from my previous employer? Should I carry any other documents (apart from Previous & current H1 petition & approval documents) which would be needed at the Port of Entry?

Do I need to appear for visa stamping for the new I-797 approval (H1 Transfer) or since the current visa is still valid, stamping is not needed?

Is there any risk at Port of Entry when I enter US with the valid visa from previous employer and current employer’s H1 transfer approval documents?
FYI: I am working as a Direct Full time employee with an end-client and not through any consulting firm.

Thanks in advance!

No issues. You can re-enter with the old valid H1B visa and new H1B approval notice. Check the below link for the documents required at the POE.
