H1b amendment....Help

[niceone]

Hi,

I have valid H1 B visa stamp till end of dec 2005.Recently my company applied for a new H1 B again(h1b amendment).So I got a new h1 approval with the same company(valid upto 2006). I want to go to India.So Do I have to apply for a new h1b visa stamp again or can I come back with my old visa to the US. Can i just show my old h1 approval at the port of entry.Your help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
KPR

You need not go for fresh stamping. You can reenter on the visa currently in your passport. Just carry copies of approval notice and documents for new petition too at port of entry.

Also, make sure to get the I-94 expiry date per new approval letter at PE.
As you are working for the same comapny no problem.
