You can travel. It’s just about refreshing your i94

like

No you cannot.. when you file your h1b coe you also send in your i-94 which is tied to old visa and old company. When you come back into the US, you get a new i94 tied to new company.. which renders your application invalid as the i94 which was sent to uscis is no longer valid

Thanks EY1 . Once I join my new company, can I use my current VISA stamp to enter the US?

Yes on your second question

Correct. Once you are back, you MUST send your updated I-94 to Legal RIGHT AWAY so that they can update the petition. Best if you can avoid travel till approval comes back. With Premium back in business, it should be fast.

From that conversation, I saw instant red flags. Any thoughts?
