I'm on H1B with I-140 approved.
The division of the company in which I work (not the whole company) has been sold to a private equity firm.
The sale is of "successor-in-interest" type.
The private equity firm is just setting up a new office and picking a new name for the company.
I was told my H1B from my parent company is still valid and do not have to file for a H1B transfer since this is "successor-in-interest" sale.
My question is:
When I travel to India in Nov, I will have to apply for visa interview (visa on the passport has expired).
I will be carrying I-797 from my parent company and supporting documents related to the sale like I-9.
Is it ok to carry I-797 from parent company or should I apply for H1B transfer before I travel?
The new company would just be 2 months old when I travel. will that be a problem for Visa stamping?
Thanks
