Hi,
I changed jobs in June 2002, and the H1 transfer is yet to complete. My previous H1 visa is valid until October, 2003.

Applied for the transfer on 15 May 2002, VSC.

I am getting married in Sep 2002, and was not sure about travelling without the approval notice.

Spoke to company lawyer and he says that as long as I have a valid unexpired H1 when I re-enter, and I carry a copy of the receipt notice for H1 transfer, a letter from my company confirming employment pursuant to AC21 and copies of 3 recent paystubs, i should be able to get back fine...

Is this correct ?

------------------------
On a related note, I was planning on bringing my wife back as well. Can my wife apply for a H4 ? If so should I provide my previous employers H1 visa papers ?

thanks

your lawyer is right.

However for H4 you will have to wait for your approval. Do not try to show previous employers' documents. That will be immigration fraud.
Unless there is an emergency reason, US consulate might not issue H4 based on the documents that you will be carrying for rentry to US.
