I am working for company A on H1B now. Recently I have my H1B revalidated in Dept of state, therefore I plan to go on an international trip 11/10 - 11/28.

This week, I get a new offer from Company B. I am planning to join in Company B as soon as possible (eg 12/01, after I come back from the trip). Company B will sponsor for my H1 transfer. They plan to file the paperwork as early as 11/05.

My question is:

1. I heard that I can work based on the H1B transfer receipt instead of the actuall approval notice, is this correct? I just need a confirmation.

2. Suppose the transfer receipt is received by company B some time in late November, can I still use the revalidated H1 visa to come back to US even though it is based on company A?

3. At the port of entry, do I need to let the officers know about the ongoing H1 transfer process?

4. Suppose my H1 transfer gets approved next spring, can I still use my company A based revalidated H1 visa to enter US? Do i need to let the port office know?


Thank you for your help!

yes
2. Suppose the transfer receipt is received by company B some time in late November, can I still use the revalidated H1 visa to come back to US even though it is based on company A?
yes if the current h1 is not withdrawn. usually no employer withdraw h1
3. At the port of entry, do I need to let the officers know about the ongoing H1 transfer process?
better not. if the poe officer questions whether you are still working for the employer mentioned in the visa you should truthfully admit that you are working for company B and your h1 transfer is pending
4. Suppose my H1 transfer gets approved next spring, can I still use my company A based revalidated H1 visa to enter US? Do i need to let the port office know?
yes. if you have new h1 approval notice then show it to the poe officer to have correct date in i94 reflecting the expiration date of new h1
