Hi

I am currently in the US. I was employed by company A and have my visa stamping on that company's name, ending January 18, 2005.

I was employed by company B, 4 months back, but I am now changing to company C .. as the second(B) company had some problems. This third company has already filed for my H1 transfer.

I am going to India this december and returning back January 4th, 2005. Do I need to get a new stamping from company C ? or I could re-enter US on the validity of my first company's stamping ?

All help will be appreciated. Thanks again.

---- you have valid Visa till jan 18 ,2005, you can enter US with that Visa of comany A stamp and you will get I-94 till your Visa stamp validity(keep the H1 transfer filing reciept with you and new employer letter, show only if asked)) if your H1 transfer gets approved when you are in India let the employer send you the H1 transfer approval notice and Employer letter and at POE you show the passport Visa stamp AND new H1 trasfer approval and you will get I-94 till H1 transfer approval notice, check your I-94 validity at POE and if find mistake point out to Inspector or ask for supervisor.
If your H1 trasfer gets approved when you reach US then it will have I-94 attached with approval notice and that will be your Latest I-94
or I could re-enter US on the validity of my first company's stamping ?
--YES
All help will be appreciated. Thanks again.

Thank you very much ginnu. Thanks for taking the time out to answer my query. Very much appreciate it.
This does clarify my doubts. I have asked the new employer to file for a Premium processing so I can have the approval just in time before i leave to India.

There is another query I have about the premium process ... You/or any other can clarify me on this here or I can make a new post.

My previous employer had told me the Premium Process for transferring H1 visas has not been available since March 2004, as the quota for this year has reached and is full till October 2005.

He sent me a link from the INS website :

How will the USCIS manage those categories that have an annual limit in relation to this faster processing?
The USCIS is designating certain nonimmigrant classifications that are subject to annual numerical limitations for Premium Processing Service. The USCIS does not believe that individuals who pay for Premium Processing Service on petitions filed for these classifications will have an unfair access to these limited immigration programs as long as the numerical limitations exceed the demand the programs.
Therefore, the USCIS will process Premium Processing and expedite requests of petitions for these nonimmigrant classifications in the order they are received, as well as chronologically process all other petitions filed for these classifications according to normal procedures.
However, in order to ensure equitable access to these limited programs, the USCIS will temporarily terminate the availability of Premium Processing Service for nonimmigrant classifications that are subject to annual numerical limitations when it becomes clear that the demand for a particular nonimmigrant classification will exceed the annual numerical limitation (e.g., when the USCIS has a pending volume of petitions sufficient to reach the limitation). This termination procedure will ensure that all petitioners have equitable access to these limited immigration programs.
The USCIS will announce temporary termination of a designation of a nonimmigrant classification for Premium Processing Service by publication of a notice in the Federal Register. The temporary termination will apply only to petitions filed for the fiscal year in which the termination is announced. When the USCIS announces temporary termination of Premium Processing Service for a particular nonimmigrant classification, it will return the Form I-907 and Premium Fee for all requests subject to the termination.

To my knowledge this applies only to NEW Visas and not the transfers. But he insists its for both, irrespsctive. Is that right ?

--------- best option so that you will have approval in hand before yopu go out

-=----- you are not subject to CAP( annual numerical limitations )and H1 transfer can be filed with premium processing
--- The link he gave you is for NEW H1
