US entry with H1B stamping from previous employer
- Thread starter sib_gm
- Start date
if you have H1 trasfer approval notice that has I-94 attached with it then no problem one can show valid H1 visa though A AND H1 approval of B at POE and you will get I-94 till your H1 transfer approval notice. always post the case details.sib_gm said:Can anybody tell me whether its possible to enter US with H1B stamping based on the approval notice from previous employer at the port of entry while holding the current approval notice from a different employer ?
Thanks ginnu, here is the details:
Previous employer A
Approval Notice: 11/04/2004 to 10/25/2007
Visa stamping valid until: 11/25/2007
New employer B
Approval notice:04/21/2006 to 03/06/2009
I-94 attached: it has two parts - left one is for personal record and says valid from 04/21/2006 to 03/06/2009. The right side part is just like I-94 we get in the port of entry without any date marked on it except my birthdate.
Can you tell me what really this new I-94 mean to me that says valid from 04/21/2006 to 03/06/2009 ?
I appreciate your thoughts on this,

----------------keep the copy of approval notice(front and back) in your immigration file at home and then detach the right side I-94 and attach in your passport

------------------- it gives you H1 status from 04/21/2006 to 03/06/2009 and you can remain and work in US till 03/06/2009 .
*** when you enter US you can show Valid visa through A AND new H1 employer approval notice at POE and you will get new WHITE I-94 till 03/06/2009
I appreciate your thoughts on this,
ginnu,
Many thanks to you for your advice. I have been observing the same type of
questions by others after and before I posted this.
I have further question on the same topic: do you think VISA stamping with new employer B is still not required (having a valid VISA based on previous employer's H1B) even though the previous employer revoked the H1B petition after I left the company (which I don't know whether they have done it or not).
Thank you in advance,

---Employer has ONLY revoked your H1 approval by writing to USCIS. Visa stamping is not under USCIS it is under DOS. you can enter with valid Visa stamp of prevoius employer and show valid H1 of B at POE. you can also cantact your lawyer for more info.
Thank you in advance,
