Traveling with Blanket L1 visa and new I797 approved individual petition extension

[hemanandk47]

I am currently in US. I am planning to travel to India in 30th April for emergency. I want to understand whether I can re-enter USA with existing visa and new approved I-797 petition.

I have Blanket L1 visa with below dates. It has old petition number.
Issue date: Aug-2019
Expiration date: Aug-2024
PED date: Jul-2021


My I94 expired on Aug-2020 as my old passport expired on same day. We filed L1b Individual petition for extension before I94 expiry date. I have got L1B individual petition approved till Aug-2022 with I94 attached at the bottom (same date Aug-2022).

Please advise whether visa stamping is required or not.

You don't need a new visa. Your existing visa is still valid & you can use that (along with your newly approved petition) to re-enter into USA.
