Discussion:
Does passport need to be stamped for re-entry?
  Hello,
I have a valid H1-B, but the stamp on the passport is old (though from the same company). I will be travelling to India, but could not find an appointment at the consulate before return journey.
My question is : Do I really have to have a stamp for re-entry?
[I have AP to use as an alternative, but prefer to use H1 instead.]
Thanks.
Answer:
You need valid H1 stamp to reenter.
Even though you use AP, nothing is different from entering with H1. Why don't you use AP ?
Seek re-admission in US under Un-used H1 time from previous stamp
H4 Stamping on a different Company petition than H1
