Context

  • Employer A: H‑1B extension approved; I‑797A with I‑94 valid May 2, 2025 – May 1, 2028.
  • Employer B: H‑1B transfer approved; I‑797A with I‑94 valid July 7, 2025 – July 6, 2028.
  • I traveled internationally after approval from Employer B, have not yet joined Employer B, and plan to return to the US mid‑August. Upon return, I intend to work for Employer A briefly, then commence employment with Employer B by late August.

Primary Questions

  1. Can you simply transition to Employer B after your return?
  2. Is another international travel necessary to ensure your I‑94 reflects Employer B’s approval?
 
USCIS goes with last action rule: Since employer B's petition was approved on your behalf, USCIS expects you start working for employer B
