How to prepare to move to the US on a H-1B visa?
Hi,
I've recently been granted a H-1B visa at the US embassy in London, and have a couple of questions concerning travel.
Q1. Am I still required to fill in the electronic and paper 1-94 form (visa waiver program) if I hold a valid H-1B visa?
Q2. Do I need to provide additional documents to support my visa at passport control when I land in the USA?
Thank you
Del

CBP have asked to see my I-797 approval notice while entering on H-1B.

And once you get it back stamped, check the dates on it and guard it carefully. The I-94 is what shows your legal presence in the US.
