Amendment In RFE status. Can i travel from India to USA?

Hi there,

A little background…

I came to USA on Dec 20, 2014 for Company X. Then I changed to a Company Y and they filed a H1 transfer during the month of Aug 2015. During the month of Oct, 2015 i was asked to for a client at a different location and so they filed an Amendment Petition on Oct, 2015.

I was told that it will take 3-4 months for this to get approved. I have made travel plans to India from Apr, 2016 to May 2016 and my amendment petition in RFE status.

Now my questions are:

  1. My VISA is still on my old company (company X) name which is valid till June 2017. Can i travel with the same VISA?

  2. As the amendment filed is still under RFE status, is it fine to travel with the amendment Receipt notice?

please note that my RFE is on I129 form.

Hi, i am also in the same state… Could you please tell me what u did exactly. Even i need to travel immediatly and its in amendment rfe…

I am also in same situation…Kindly let me know what you did …

Hi There!,

  You can safely travel and come back without any issues.  

I have taken that extra risk to travel India and while returning I was so tensed about my amendment, but not a single query was asked on amendment.

All that you need is a valid VISA to enter. That’s it.

Happy journey…
