Travel Advisory

H-1B, O-1 and Mexican TN Visa
All non U.S. Citizens and non Permanent residents planning to travel outside of the U.S. who plan to return must have the following documents to present for reentry into the U.S.:  

  1. A valid passport.
  2. An original I-797 Approval Notice from the BCIS which is valid for a period beyond the anticipated travel.
  3. A valid H-1B or O-1 visa stamp in the passport.
  4. An employment verification letter from Human Resources. You may contact Sheila Carenzo via email atcarenzo@adp.uchc.edu for such letter.
Please Note: If the present visa stamp in your passport has expired, you must secure the new visa from the U.S. Embassy in the country of travel. If you have an H-1B or O-1 visa stamp that expired less than a year ago, you may be eligible to obtain a new visa stamp inside the United States. Please contact the U.S. Department of State at http://travel.state.gov/hlop.html for “visa revalidation” information. However, please note that this may take over 4 months to obtain. Subsequent to 9/11, federal legislation mandates in the interest of national security have occurred and all US embassies have different procedures for visa application.  Individuals from certain countries or from certain disciplines may be subject to additional security clearance. Prior to 9/11 about 4000 security clearances were requested per year, after 9/11 that number has increased to 200,000. This procedure can take over 30 to 45 days. It is strongly recommended that you review information on their website or contact them prior to your travel. The website to the U.S. Embassies around the world is http://usembassy.state.gov/. Additional information is also available at the U.S. Department of State’s website: http://travel.state.gov/.

For visa processing at the US Embassies in the country of travel, the following is also required:

  1. Copy of the form I-129 filed by the employer.
  2. Copy of the Labor Condition Application (does not apply for O-1).
  3. Copy of the Department’s support letter.
  4. Employment verification letter from the Department of Human Resources. You may contact Sheila Carenzo via email at carenzo@adp.uchc.edu for such letter.
  5. Original copy of the Pay Statement from UCHC.
  6. Original copy of your Diplomas. Physicians will be required to provide their license original.
  7. Please note, if your dependents will be applying for dependent visas you will need the marriage certificate for your spouse and birth certificates for your children.
