Need Help : H1B transfer without stamping

[oyeankur]

Hi Friends,

Need your advice in my case :

Came to US on L1B in 2008, from Indian giant IT company ,*
new L1B stamped in India ( instead of extension) in 2010 valid till 2013 *,
same company filed H1B in 2011 and got i797A approval notice ( with i-94) with validity till 2014.

Now, I am planning to join local consultancy or another Indian IT company here in US fro GC But have few concerns :

1 : Is it better to get H1b visa stamped from India from same company in passport before H1b transfer to new company , looking to the current cases of many H1b rejections or delay in passport delivery !

2: Also, my wife is on H4 now but her stamping also not done. L2 stamping in passport currently.

3: Or is it okay to H1B transfer from Indian IT companies only , Local consultant may have few issues while stamping.

FYI, I need to travel India for 2 weeks in October, 2012.

Thanks in advance for your inputs.

Does not matter. Visa has nothing to do with this.
2: Also, my wife is on H4 now but her stamping also not done. L2 stamping in passport currently.
Again, does not matter. Unless H1 transfer also includes an extension, nothing needs to be done about your wife's status anyway until her I-94 expires.

3: Or is it okay to H1B transfer from Indian IT companies only , Local consultant may have few issues while stamping.
Yes, typical IT consultants face extra scrutiny in their petitions and their employees have extra scrutiny in their Visa applications.

FYI, I need to travel India for 2 weeks in October, 2012.

Thanks in advance for your inputs.

See above.
