Travel to India while H1B transfer in progress

[gofor_pavan]

Hello Guru,

I want to know if I can travel to India for following situation :-

1. Working for employer 'A' and H1B will expire 2012 DEC
2. Got a new offer from employer 'B' and submitted the document for visa transfer.

I have not yet resigned to employer 'A' and waiting for visa approval from employer 'B'.

I want to travel to india before I joined to employer 'B'.

In this scenario, as visa transfer is in progress by employer 'B', can I travel to india for two weeks and come back on employer 'A' visa.

Thanks

Yes. If you will be working for employer A on your return then you can enter by showing the approval notice of employer A. If not, then you will have to wait until you receive the approval notice of employer B to re-enter. As long as the H1B visa is valid, you can use that to enter U.S irrespective of the employer that you will be working for.
