H-1B portability without a visa stamp
I came to US on H-4, so I have only H-4 stamping in my passport. Got my H1b picked up in lottery two years back, and did COS to h1, and have approved i797A with I-94 and working with my current employer.
Got an offer from another company, and they filed my H1b transfer, and got the i-797A approval with I-94.
So my question here is, can I join the new company using the H1b transfer approval, even though I don’t have H1b stamp at all in my passport? Will this be a valid H1b transfer?, or should I go back to India to get my H1b stamping to join the new employer?

QSSI is an IT Consulting Company located in Gaithersburg, MD with a staff strength of 120+ . We have been working with Rajiv Khanna's office for close to four years. They are the best. Rajiv's staff is very knowledgeable, dedicated, prompt and professional. Rajiv is always willing to talk anyone who needs legal counsel for immigration. We are very impressed with their service, though it is tough to single out an individual, as we find all of them to be real professionals but would still want to single out the few: Rena, Anna, Mathew, Amrita, Suman, Hellen and of course Rajiv.
