Hi,
I got my first H1B/I797 from oct-2014 to aug-2017. My company renewed my petition by Mar-2017 and I got the renewed I797 dated from aug-2017 to aug-2020.
I changed employer around april and the new I797 for transfer from new employer is from apr-2017 to apr-2020. I am now in a vaction to India in Oct-2017. Since my visa has expired in aug-2017, I reapplied for a new H1-Visa. THe application process only allowed for dropbox, and I got a new visa issued after submitting documents via dropbox. However the visa has been issued with the renewed petition of my previous employer instead of the latest petition of my current employer. I checked my DS-160 application details and I have indeed only mentioned my new employer petition number in it.
Is my visa okay to travel back? Has anyone had a similar experience? Would appreciate some information regarding this..
-thanks,
