Hi,
My current I-94/visa/petition is expiring on 30-April-09 and is with company A. I have just started the transfer process with company B, BUT, I need to go to India and join company B only after 2/3 months, say in Aug-09. So, I plan to get a new visa based on the new transfer petition in Chennai consulate.

Here are my questions:
1. Should I get a visa revalidation or restamping? I am not clear if these two are different. I have heard that revalidation in chennai is simpler.
2. What challanges will I face to get the visa? When I go for the interview, I will still be working for company A in India. However, after getting the visa, will be returning to the US to work for company B. Will this create any issues?

Please advise.
 
Hi Rajiv,
I was working for company A, got H1b stamped in May 07, visited India, came back. In March 08 changed to company B, got laid-off this Feb 27th, 09. Before this I got married and transferred to H4, also received approval on March 20th. A miracle happened and got a job offer two weeks back, the company applied for PP H1b, luckily I got approval last Thursday! Now, I am planning to go to India in June, 09. Tough having a H1b stamp already, do I still need to go for another H1b stamping???

Please advice.

PS: Between these changes I do not have H4 stamped.

Your reply will be greatly appreciated.
