Hi All
I recently changed jobs and transferred my H1B visa from company A to company B. However I still have the old company A visa stamped on my passport. I have a approved petition (I797A) for company B and I have received an extension of stay in the US and my I-94 has been extended till the approved date of my new I-797. I was thinking about making a trip outside the US. My visa through company A is valid till Nov 25, 2006. I was wondering if I were to make a trip outside the US and then return before the expiry date for my visa issued by company A would there be any problem during reentry. Is there some kind of a window period say one or two months before the visa expiration during which time you cannot re-enter the US unless the visa is first renewed or in other words, if I travel during Sept or Oct or Nov 2006 and I return before 25th Nov 2006 (my current visa's expiration date) is there a possibility that I will be denied reentry? What are the rules that govern reentry?
Thanks.
