Is There Any Additional Documents To Enter The US?
Hi,
I've been on H1B visa status since Oct. 2008 and am intending to visit my family in Japan in April 2010.
In addition to a valid passport and an H1B visa stamp on it, do I have to have any documents with me when I come back to the US from Japan?
H1B status period: Oct. 2008 - Sept. 2011
Passport expires : July 2012
I appreciate your help for this matter.

If you changed your status to H-1B when you're in US, you need to submit new application at US consulate in Japan. Use form DS 156-157 and supported documents from your employer, approval notice from USCIS, etc.

Hi,
Thank you for your reply to my question.
However, I think my explanation was not long enough.
Here is my situation;
I have already done those paper work, received H1B VISA STAMP ON MY PASSPORT in Japan, been on H1B status since Oct. 1 2008, and NOT LEFT THE U.S. SINCE THEN.
I am intending to visit my family in Japan in April 2010 for 4 weeks.
I am wondering whether I have to have any documents with me and show them to an immigration officer at an airport when I come back from Japan.
Thank you for your time about this.

If you have consulate issued H-1B, then you don't need any additional documents... :)

Thank you for your response. It definitely helps me. The only question is why I have to wait until June 1, 2010? Is the requirement is to be in US for at least 9 months? Do you mean if I choose to do so I don't have to file tax return this year. There is no penalty for this?...
