  • H4 travel during Employer change for primary H1

    My husband is on H1b with Employer A and the H1 transfer to new employer B has already been initiated and it will take a while to complete. My daughter and I are on H4. Can we travel outside the country while the H1 transfer is in progress? Will my daughter need to go for stamping if we do?

    h4 travel while h1 transfer

    Hi ,

    I am on H1b visa with employer (A), which is going to expire on Jan,2018. So my employer(A) filed an Extension, received the receipt number but the case is in-progress state. Meanwhile I got another job offer from Employer(B) and who filed transfer petition, received the receipt #, joined with employer (B) based on receipt #(case is in-progress).
    My spouse is back in India, with H4 visa on previous Employer (A). I am planning to make her travel to US on Dec, 2017 (45 days before the H4 visa expiry date).

    Here are my questions,
    1) Can she travel on old Employer(A)'s H4 visa + Employer(B)'s receipt number + old valid I-797 ?

    2) If the Employer (A) revokes the old I-797 (which is valid till Jan,18) & Extension petition, during the H4 travel will there be any hurdles @POE ?

    3) Once H4 enters into the US (h4 visa valid till Jan,17), when should I go for H4 extension, after my new petition (with employer B) gets approved or before the H4 visa expires ?

    The quick responses will be highly appreciated.
