Why not just bring your supervisor along with you to your vacation? It's only another ticket for the price of security.

Were you supposed to make a dad joke? 🤔

Not really. But why take a chance? What if they ask you for the petition or something else. I think it’s critical to carry all the documents. It’s just half a kg at the max of weight but enough to keep you confident and out of any surprise trouble.

I'd carry last 3 payslips and another proof if employment (employment letter, ID card, business card etc.) just in case.

I travel every week to Canada (with only the 797) and only once they asked the i797. I don't think there will ever be any issue if you have it. Nowhere on USCIS or dhs states that you need more documents

I imagine McKinsey did. They hired a tax firm that asked me for a few documents but I never bothered following up

Thank you everyone! This really helps 😀

I got back on Monday. The officer asked me for my I797 too. I had a letter from EY confirming my employment. It takes 3 days to get generated online.

@EY 3 how did you get the letter?

There’s an employee verification form. A colleague had shared it with me . You need to fill it up and send it ssc.customersupport@ey.com

Hey mates, I have an overall experience of 14 years with 6lakh CTC.

Nothing is changed financially but in a better role. Have got certified in GCP. I stayed here for too long because I was looking for an onshore opportunity but now luck is not favouring me in H1B lottery. Looking for your valuable suggestions!
