Travel to India for h1 extension stamping while h1 transfer approved with a different new employer
Asked on Apr 07th, 2022 on Immigration - Pennsylvania
More details to this question:
I have H1 extension approved with my existing employer and needs to get stamped in my already planned India visit in two months. Meanwhile, new employer is offering to get h1 transferred before travel but start new job with new employer after India trip. Would that get me into any issues?
Your scenario appears to be questionable and may lead to questions of visa fraud at a later date. At the visa stamping, you are making a representation that you are working with your present company, and that is the basis upon which the visa will be given. Immediately working for a new employer upon your return to the US is a confirmation that the consulate was tricked into giving you the visa. I do not recommend the contemplated plan of action.
