I want to travel to home country for an occasion. I need to go to for visa stamping. But I got an offer with another company and h1 transfer is pending.
I will come back and work with current employer before the switch.
Technically, I was told I can travel by the new employer.
Any suggestions or similar experiences with anyone ?

    Well, I don’t see any risk here? What do you worry about specifically ?

    Hey, sorry I thought you already had visa stamped. Yes, avoid travelling in the mean time unless new H-1b petition gets approved.

    As you correctly mentioned, visa officer may take the view that you are getting stamped for a particular job with another H-1b transfer pending.

    Not that anything is wrong even then, but gives a bit more chance for visa officer to create unnecessary hassle
