H1B Stamping with new I-129

[mittal.fdk]

I have a valid H1B visa stamp in my passport which expires in September of 2015. I am changing employers and I have a new I-129 which is valid through November 2017. If I were to travel outside of US in the next few months will I need to get a new visa stamped? Of note, I intend to re-enter US within the validity of current visa stamp.

Please help!

You dont need to get a new visa stamp, but the drawback of not getting a new visa stamp is that you would most likely get a I-94 only till Sept 2015 upon your re entry and then would need to file a subsequent I539.

This is my opinion not legal advice.

Thanks a lot Raghvi!

Anyone with a personal experience with such a situation?
