Can Employer keep Original I-797.

My employer is not willing to give me my original I-797. Currently I need it for my driving license renewal. May be later I need it for H1 transfer. What are the options? Do I need the original for H1 transfer?

thanks.

You can ask him that you need it for Driver’s license and subtly get it… You do NOT original I-797 for for H1B transfer. If you have a copy of it that is fine. Read the answer at the end: Do I need original I797 for transfer - USCIS
