B1 Invitation Letter

[srinu25]

Hi,

I already traveled to US on H1 and worked for 5 years. Now first time going on B1 Visa. I joined new company and they gave me B1 Invitation letter in India office to attend B1 Visa interview.

Can anyone help me to answer my below questions:

-- List of documents that I need to carry for B1 Visa.
-- They said in the letter it is for Technical Review meetings. Will it be fine that can I explain I am going for meetings.
-- Duration I am keeping for 2 weeks. (Any suggested duration)

Thx.

Hi,

I recently got B1/B2 Visa 10 years multiple entry. I am traveling to US on B1 Visa and I already got project in US.

Company A is holding H1 (expired petition)
Company B (Need to Transfer H1)

My question is after traveling to US Can I apply H1 Transfer?
Do I need to travel back outside of US to stamp H1 on my passport after H1 Transfer or Can I continue working in US after H1 Transfer?


Note: I already stayed 5 years in US on my existing H1. Now I am using 1 year of my H1 which is left over.


Thanks
