Hi,
I am very tensed about my situation and my new employer wants me to travel to the USA asap. It will be very kind if any one could help me with my case. My case and questions below:
My F1 was transferred to H1B with employer ABC, validity from Oct 2011-Sept 2014. I came to India in Nov 2012, and got the H1B stamping in India with validity until Sept 2014 (i.e. with the petitioner ABC). I have been in India since then. I am currently offered a new job with employer XYZ in the US and my new H1B was approved with I797 valid until May 2017 with the employer XYZ.
My passport is valid until Feb 23 2015, and visa stamp valid until Sept 2014.
Questions:
1. Do I have to go stamping again with new petitioner? Or my visa (valid until Sept 2014) and new I797 are good enough to travel to the US?
2. As my passport is expiring by Feb 23 2015, what duration will my I-94 be given?
3. Will I get I94 based on my new I797 or based on my visa stamp?
It will be great if you could answer my questions as soon as possible, as my employer wants me to be in the USA immediately without any delay. Delay may jeopardize my job.
Thanks very much in advance,
Sincerely,
Sandeepa
