Should I Return my original I-797 upon resignation as they are asking it from me?

[RIT]

Hi Experts,

Need your help with my situation.

Resigned from company A after my visa transfer with company B got approved. Now, company A is asking me to return the original I-797 as part of No due clearance and for a clean exit. I have been searching online but not much has been written about the need for retaining all the previous I-797's for continued stay/visa stamping/GC process.

Can somebody help me with my situation? Should I take a notarized copy of the I-797 & return the original to company A or should I retain the original I-797? If so, when exactly will it be required for me in the future processes?

Thanks in advance for all your valuable inputs.

Yes, just keep copies with you, that will be sufficient.
