Hi, I worked for a financial services company which went down under due to the subprime mortgage and credit crisis a couple of months ago. I am currently unemployed in the US. My H-1 B is valid until March 2010, and the previous company already started my green card sponsorship a year before it got shut down.

My question is,

Can I travel outside the US and then come back using that H-1 B visa? I might have to reapply for an entry visa stamp at a port of entry because the stamp is expiring soon. Please note, the visa stamp and the H-1B visa have two different expiration dates.

Please help if you know for sure. Please do not respond if you just think you know the answer.

Thanks a bunch.
