Passport - needs to have a new Visa Stamp ?

[bernhard]

Hello,

I do have a passport which is valid until 2017.
Additional, I do have an H1B Visa stamped, which is valid until 20.Sept.2011.

I left the United States in March 2010.

Now a different company in the US wants to hire me.

When re-entering the US, do I need to get any new Visa Stamp ?
Because the existing one, contains the name of my first company I was working for.

Or do I have to go to the US-embassy before re-entering the US and get any additional piece of paper ?

What to say when re-entering the US if there are no additional papers proofing the new employment ?

Thank you so much for any little info, highly appreciated.

New Visa with new employer's name on it is recommended, obviously you'll go o USE for that anyway.

You can travel on your existing H1 visa stamp and new H1 approval notice.

Since it's expiring in 2011, I will get a new visa if I were you.

thank you

thank you very much for your information, I really appreciate that.


you write, I can travel with the existing visa and a and new H1 approval notice.
From where do I get this new approval notice ?

you recommend to get a new visa anyways, because it's expiring in Fall 2011.
Of course I have to... but the question is... how can I apply for the extension of another 3 years ?

I guess I can't, just the employer can do that for me, right ?

thx a lot
