Hi,

Did anybody travelled on old visa (unexpired) from previous
employer(previous h1b cancelled but visa valid upto 2004) and new approval notice (i-797/i-94) from current employer.

please share your experience.

Thanks
 
Numerous instances where people have done this (my former roommate did it as well) You can travel with no problems with old unexpired visa and new I-797 approval. I think the INS web site itself states somewhere you dont need new H-1 visa stamp just because you changed employers
 
thanks mgh2001

my only concern is that my previous employer cancelled
my previous h1b. does it make any problem in reentering.
could please clarify.
 
Hello,

Yes my spouse travelled on Old employer's H-4 visa with my new emp.'s H-1 approval notice. no problem at all.( My Old company cancelled my H-1)
 
Absolutely. There is no problem with this as stated in a memo in 1997 from INS Assistant Commissioner Michael Aytes.
 
thanks Jim, gc_menia.

Jim,
could you please post that memo if possible. i think this will be
helpful for h1b community forever.

thanks again
