H1 transfer/amendment when beneficiary outside of US.

[baby_mde]

Presently we are in US and we are going to home country for couple of weeks for vacation.

While we are in abroad, the company, which is acquired my present company, might apply H1 transfer/amendment.

My question is:

1. Can a company apply H1 transfer/amendment when beneficiary outside of US??
2. If they apply, does this create any problems at port of entry while entering to US?
3. If they apply do I have to carry any additional papers??

Please post you experience.



Thanks

As long as your current visa stamp of H1B is valid on your passport....one has to do nothing...

when the visa stamp on the passport expires, one needs to get the updated docs and apply with the updated docs...

e.g if you work for Company A got 3 years valid visa...then if you shift to company B/C/D within these 3 years...one does not need to do anything....but when the 3 year visa expires...then one needs to renew it with Company D's H1B doc...
