Hello all,

BACKGROUND:
Recently, I was laid-off from company A with two-month notice. It means that I would remain on their payroll until Dec. 8, 2002. I have found another job in company B and they are processing my H1 transfer thru premium processing. I need to travel to Switzerland/Italy at the end of Nov. 2002.

QUESTIONS:
1. If I receive my Company B H1-B approval in time, Can I re-enter US with company A's H1 visa and company B's H1 approval?
2. Suppose company A decides to withdraw their H1-B petition from INS in November, will their visa still remain valid for this travel?

You response would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks in advance!

Since your h1 transfer is pending your status is preserved. You should make sure that you receive the approval before traveling or coming back into US.

1. Yes
2. If you are paid by company A for november and employer applies to withdraw your H1 their actions does not seem to be consistent. They are the ones in the soup - for violating INS laws
