My H1b visa is valid till oct. 2007.

My future company will make the h1b transfer and extension at the same time(regular processing)(this week).

I'll be working for my future company on June 11th 2007....my problem is:

....I have to go to my home country on July 20th 2007( so I'll be working for my future company 1 month and a half before going to my home country)...my question is:

....my H1b transfer and extension will be pending at the time I'm in my home country.....and when I returned to U.S there will any problems even if I have the reciept no. for transfer and extension?

......do you think I should consider premium processing ..and pay extra 1000$?, this amount of money I have to pay from my pocket.

.....the company will send docs over email this week..let's say April 13th.....and I'm going home on July 20th...is it enough time for regular processing to get approved before July 20th?..I heard it may take 3-4 months to get approved...maybe more than that.

Please give me some advice and share your experience with me.

Thank you in advance

----------------------- H1 transfer can be filed if you are in US on valid H1 status and with valid I-94( if you are in US better to file H1 Transfer with premium Processing so that you get approval in 15-20 days)

----------------- you can enter with valid visa stamp but I prefer to have H1 transfer in hand and at POE I show valid visa that is till Oct 2007 AND H1 transfer approval of new employer and will get I-94 till H1 transfer approval

......do you think I should consider premium processing ..and pay extra 1000$?, this amount of money I have to pay from my pocket.
---------------------I will do that

Premium is one option. You should not ignore. It gives you peace of mind.

Since you have valid visa stamp in your passport, you can re enter (by showing the transfer receipt) without any problem. You will get I 94 until Oct 2007 again you will get another I 94 ( diff number) along with your H1 transfer for different date.

While going out of US next time you must return both I 94 at the air line. This was my personal experience in 1999.
