Q: My H-1B COS was approved in July 21. Now, H-1B amendment is being filed. Urgent Travel required- Am i allowed to travel
H-1B COS was approved and i have my I 797-A form. Do not have my visa stamp yet. Because of role change and pay raise, employer is filing an H-1B Amendment. Need to travel in the next two weeks. Can i travel while amendment is pending and return after my petition is approved and get the visa stamping done in my home country prior to return?
Any advise will be of great help.
Company assigned attorney is not of much help and recommends traveling only after petition is approved. I am not getting an answer as to what my options are if i do travel.
I would not be traveling if it wasn't really required.
