H1B Transfer Premium Processing: Travel Question
Hello!
My new employer filed my H1B tranfer petition yesterday and I am assuming that it will take around 15 days for the approval and an additional 1 week for the hard copy of the approved petition to reach me via post.
I have a planned vacation out of the USA starting 21st August and am aware that the hard copy of the approved petition would be required to re-enter the USA.
I was wondering if in case I don't get to carry the hard-copy of the approved petition with me within the stipulated time period, can I ask someone to scan the mailed copy and use the scanned version of the approval to re-enter? Is the original I797 approval notice require at the point of entry? Or is a photocopy as good as original as long as i already have valid visa?
Thanks in advance!
