    Default Old Visa Stamp, New H1

    Hi there!!! I have H1 approval and a valid visa stamping under company A untill 2009. It has been 4 months since I have left the company A and came back to India for personal reasons. I now have a new H1 that has got approved by company B. I want to go back to US and start working for company B. Can I travel to US with the same old visa stamp that was issued through company A since its expiry is in 2009. please advise. Thank you in advance.

    On a "better safe than sorry" basis, I would suggest going to a U.S. consulate and getting a stamp reflecting your new H1B. Each H1B is employer-specific.

    You will probably be able to enter by presenting the unexpired stamp along with proof of your new H1B and employment, in order to get a new I-94 at the port of entry, and the expiration date for your new I-94 should match the expiration date on the new H1B approval notice. But if things go wrong....

    Thank you for the advise. But moorthy bulletin said one can go with the same old visa and indicate to the official at port of entry to put the date on I94 according to the new H1.Is this a better thing to do please advise.

    Read my second paragraph. If somebody else is wiling to guarantee that you will not have a problem, all the more power to them.
