Re-enter US on previous employer's valid H1..travelling in 10 days!

[rashidsajjad]

Hi,

I came to the US on employer A's H1 valid till 2009. I joined B in 15 days and recieved my I-797 with Departure records.

I need to travel out of the country, will i be able to re-enter on the previous H1?

Our company lawyer told me that for AC21 (??) its not a problem but for my approved H1, i need a new H1 visa.

Anyone has a concrete idea, whats going on?

Thanks

you can use the H1 visa stamp with company A and enter US, at port of entry show the I-797 of company B.
No need to get a new visa stamp.
