Dear Experts,
Greetings!!!
I came in US on H-1B visa with my wife and son having H-4 visas.
I have changed the employer recently and planning to go to India for 10 days after a month along with family.
Our visas with the last employer are valid till September 2015. My new employer had transferred and extended these visas till June 2017.
I spoke to the attorney (who had helped my present employer to transfer and extend these visas) and specifically asked that whether I need to go for stamping again at India as our passports still have visa stamps from the old employer. Attorney says that re-stamping is not required for you and your family as the visas with previous employer is still valid.
Lot of people say that re-stamping is absolutely required as you have changed the employer.
Now I am bit confused and nervous in travelling to India and would like to understand whether we can face any issue at the Port Of Entry with old employer visas?
Kindly guide me based on your experience and facts whether in this scenario we need to go for stamping again or not?
If not what documents I need to carry for me and my family while returning back to US.
Thank you,
Aakaash
