I am currently employed with this Bank (company A) for the past 2 years on H1 B that is valid and stamped till Aug 2010. Recently, company B had requested for an H1B transfer along with Extension of Stay (EOS) through premium process, with the understanding that I will take up the offer when the approval came through. Yesterday the firm received an RFE and Company B has till Nov 1st to respond. Now, I am getting married on Nov 1st and I have to leave the country by 24th Oct returning Nov 19th. I wanted to know:
1) Can leave US and return without any cause for concern (I dont need another stamping)
2) My Wife needs to go for H4 stamping; would there be any impediment due the RFE raised.
3) Would there an impact on company B's transfer+EOS request?
3.1) If the transfer+EOS (for company B) is approved while I am outside of US, can I still return on company A's stamped and valid VISA (since I am still employed at company A)
3.2) While I am out of the country would the EOS part be considered abandoned (even if the approval did not come through while I was out of the country).
I would really appreciate any responses/advices on this matter.
TIA
