I was working for company A as a fulltime employee, the H1 stamp on my passport is from company A and is valid till June27 2009
I quit company A on Oct 17 2008 and applied for a H1 tranfer to company B on Oct 21 2008 after which I travelled to India on Oct 24 2008. Company B is a consulting company and the new I-797 is valid till September 2012
Have been in India since Oct 24 2008 owing to personal reasons which company B was aware about and now am planning to comeback this monthend.. I have got a letter from Company B that I am still required by the company
Questions :
With regards to the Port of Entry , I have the following apprehensions
a) Would they ask me to return to my native country to have the passport restamped ?
b) Would they query me further for being out of country for 7 months ? On H1 how long could a employee be without pay if he is out of country
c) Could there be any other problem at the Port of Entry ?
Appreciate your time and thanks in advance
