Re-entry problem for valid H1B visa holders..
Anonymous3 views1 answers
I have been hearing all stories of re entry denial for H1B visa olders even with valid documents... Just wanted to check how much water holds in these stories.. I am H1B visa holder and have have all the documents I am in job (not on bench or inhouse etc).. want to plan 3 weeks trip to home country. just want to know if I could expect any trouble/denial of entry at port of entry..
Thanks
Hello,
I hope that your travel was uneventful on the immigration front. When you hold H-1B status, this is what you should travel with:
Unexpired passport with unexpired H-1B visa stamp (if your visa is expired, you'll need to secure a new one while abroad)
ORIGINAL H-1B approval notice
Proof of continuing employment with H-1B employer - past few paystubs, company ID card, etc - These items should not be presented to the immigration inspector, but should be carried with you in case needed.
Also carry a copy of the H-1B petition that was filed on your behalf and make sure you've read it and are familiar with its contents. Make sure any questions asked of you by an immigration inspector are answered in a manner consistent with the information in the H-1B petition. If the H-1B petition is not accurate, be sure to contact the company/immigration attorney for counsel. - Do not present this to the immigration examiner, but carry it with you in case needed.
I hope this information is helpful.
