Anyway, you would be in India (out of USA) 2-3 weeks, the gap does not matter. If your current H1B visa on your passport is still valid, you may use it until its expiry. No need of stamping again, just because you changed employer. Just have the Employer B approved petition with you whil entry to show immigration officials.
No, it would not cause issues. But you MUST have the Employer B original approved notice with you in hand.
I have done that multiple times, personally. If you are not comfortable, you may still submit passport in drop-box and may get it stamped to new employer B. But why even go through that unnecessarily, when you have a valid visa in your passport that you can use still ? Check with your employer B immigration lawyer, they will explain it better.
Hi thunturuhani…I am having similar situation.i will be filling up ds160 with new employer 797 but joining date is when I return back to USA and will resign with current employer before stamping process.
Can you share your experience…how did it go thru…thanks for your inputs
If employer B petition gets approved before you visit india then are you going to join with employer B right? If your transfer is pending (Joined on receipt) with employer B then it is risky until transfer complete and approved.
My case is exactly the same as yours but I already have my transfer to new employer approved. My joining with new employer is in March. Can I resign with my job with current employer by the end of January and take a break in Feb, then come back and join new employer? Can you please share what happened in your case.
