Hi,
On Nov 2012, I joined Company A (Direct Client Full Time) in USA.
On March 2013, i came to India and got my Visa Stamped. Visa is valid till Nov, 2015.
In Jan 2014, Due to personal reason, i resigned from Company A and came back to India.
Now Company B (Consulting Firm - EVC mode of employment) transferred my H1B. I received approved I-797 for it.
Company B is very small consulting firm, at times they are pushy. They want me in US immediately. So need expert advise on below immigration issues.
1. To travel to US, do i need to go for Stamping. Company B advised that since my visa from Company A is not expired (valid till Nov, 2015), i can use that stamped visa and approved I-797 from Company B to enter US. But Company A would have already revoked my old visa by now for sure. so Is it legally allowed to travel like Company B Advised ?
2. At POE, Company B advised me to mention that i am going to work for Company B. since my stamped visa on Passport has Company A name, Doesn't it sound like a conflict ?
3. My wife has stamped H4 based on my H1B from Company A. can she travel with me, with out going for re stamping ? Her H4 is also valid till Nov 2015.
Please advise if this situation is something complex and must require legal advise.
Thanks
